Leslie "Les" Reggie Mason

July 22, 1938 - August 13, 2021

Peacefully at Wentworth Lodge, Dundas, on August 13th, 2021, Les passed away in his 84th year with his family by his side. He leaves behind his loving wife of 57 years, Ida Mason (née Fitzgerald) and his children Wayne Mason (Vera) and Kimberly Pickett (Paul). His grandchildren Paul (Natalie) and Michelle Pickett, and Ryan and Jeffrey Mason (and their Mom, Karrie) will miss their Grandpa’s loving interest that he always took in their lives. Les was blessed to have met his first great-grandchild, Zachary, who was born on July 31st and was able to have a brief, yet beautiful relationship with his great-grandson. Les was pre-deceased by his parents Walter and May Mason, sister Vickie May (Donald). He is survived by his niece Teresa May. Les will be missed by all of Ida’s family, especially Rick (Jean) Fitzgerald who was like a brother to him. Les was born in Norfolk, England and immigrated to Canada in 1957. He retired from International Harvester/J. I. Case as a Millwright after 35 years. In retirement, he enjoyed travelling with Ida and volunteering at Westfield Heritage Village. Les was an almost 50 year member of the I.O.O.F. He enjoyed being with his grandchildren and attending their many academic achievements, sporting events, and touring around Ontario with them. On behalf of the Mason Family, a special thank you to Dr. Prangley and all the staff at Wentworth Lodge for the kindness, loving care, and friendship that was given to Les. In keeping with Les’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a private service will be held on Saturday, August 21st, 2021.
