MASON, Frederick William (Fred). 7 October 1942 - 23 October 2017. So sad to announce the passing of Fred. His humour, wit, sneaky charm, love and care will be very missed by his wife, Connie, children Brian, Glen and Janette and granddaughters Halle and Skylar. He loved his fishing, hunting, friends, books, history and it feels fitting for a union man that he passed on Labour Day. A celebration of Fred's life will be held in the chapel of Willetts Funeral Services Ltd, 21 King Street, Whakatane on Friday 27th October at 2pm followed by a private cremation. Messages please to the Mason family C/- PO Box 2070 Whakatane.
