MASON, Michael John Nairn (Grumps/Grumpy). Michael John Nairn Mason, left us on Friday 8 February, 2019 at West Harbour Gardens in his 88th year with a huge smile on his face. Youngest and only son of the late Dora and Robert, brother of the late Patricia, and Rosemary (Australia). Father of the late Colin, Gary (South Africa) and their families. Much loved uncle, cousin, and grandfather across the world and great grandad of Peyton and Trey (South Africa). In accordance with Michael's wishes a private cremation has been held, No hoo-ha. Michael's family wish to thank Dr Venter, the medical/clinical team and carers for their endless high care of their father. Fly high grumpy, we weren't allowed to put a fishing rod in, you will be missed by all - Irene.
