May 11, 1946 - October 22, 2024

Dear friends,

Michael Stoodley, a beloved member of the Apollo Center of the Fellowship of Friends, completed his task on October 22, 2024, at 4:44 p.m. Florida time, following a short hospital stay, having had multiple health issues.

Michael was born on May 11, 1946, and joined the Fellowship on August 2, 1979, in Portland, Oregon. He was 78 years old on his last birthday. A friend remarked of him, “Michael was one of the quiet, strong, and consistent pioneers of our school.”  Michael worked on many octaves for Apollo over the decades.

He will be missed.

On behalf of all who knew you, we give thanks.

The Elysian Society

Have none chanted for thee a chant of fullest welcome?
Then I chant it for thee, I glorify thee above all—
Not life alone—death, many deaths, I’ll sing. 

Walt Whitman
