Here is something offered from a brother from my lodge...
"Maybe it's not so much the father acting as the lewis tool to the son, rather it's the son lifting the fraternity up through his dedication to Freemasonry."
And "If the father has traveled from youth to old age, from rough ashlar to perfect ashlar, then the son is moving his father's perfect ashlar into position as the crowning achievement of his father's work. "
Both of these make sense to me
