Born in Glasgow in 1939, Reggie lost his father at Dunkirk in 1940 and his mother died the same year. He was shipped out to an orphanage in Durban, South Africa. Dr Willem Steenkamp, a leading plastic surgeon, and his wife Huibrecht adopted Reggie in 1947, and they moved to Cape Town. Reggie’s grandfather was a member of British Lodge 334, and his father, Willem, was Worshipful Master of Travellers Lodge in 1947, the same year he adopted Reggie.

Reggie married Amanda in 1965 and joined Travellers Lodge in 1969, where he is now serving his 38th year as Treasurer. He is also the treasurer of other Lodges and Side Degrees in the District.

In 2006, Reggie became a Grand Officer as Past Grand Standard Bearer. A remarkable man and a remarkable Masonic career.
