Obituary of Reginald Wentworth Mason
Age 100, Spry Harbour. It is with great sadness, yet thankfulness, for a life well-lived that the family announces the peaceful passing of Reg on Monday, September 9th, 2019 in Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital, Sheet Harbour surrounded by his loving family. Reg was born on December 8, 1918 in Woodside, Dartmouth, the first born child of the late George and Clara (Monk) Mason. In his early years Reg worked alongside his father in the woods and stevedoring. In the late 1960’s Reg moved his wife to Dartmouth where he was employed as a custodian by the Dartmouth School Board retiring in 1983. Upon retirement he returned to his beloved Spry Harbour where he faithfully served St. Andrews Anglican Church for many years. Reg enjoyed candy, especially chocolate, lively discussions on politics, religion, and our changing society. He was very fortunate to have had many friends whom faithfully visited and brought joy to his life.
