In May of 1958, he became a Prince Hall Mason, and he was an active member of Lodge 116 for 64 years. Brother Stackhouse was a self-taught carpenter. Many would bring their wooden items in pieces, and Robert would put them all back together again. In the early Seventies, he began creating “What Not Shelves.” They were small, beautifully crafted shelves that adorned many homes in the area and many other states. He loved woodworking and restoring furniture for so many.
Robert leaves a legacy and many, many precious memories for his son, Ernest Stackhouse, Sr. (Glenda) of Patterson, Louisiana; two daughters, Diane S. Roy of New Orleans, Louisiana, and Mrs. Matthew (Phyllis ) Glover of Morgan City, Louisiana; five grandchildren, ten Great-grandchildren; and two Goddaughters. A host of nieces, nephews, and friends. He also leaves good friends.
When he reached Heaven, he was met by his wife, parents: three brothers: five sisters: son: many aunts, uncles, relatives, and friends.
