In Memory of Neil Edward Mason

We are very sorry to announce the passing of Paul's uncle Neil. We were very lucky to spend time with him just a couple of weeks ago at Auntie Sarah's wedding.

Neil Edward Mason, formerly of Bath, ME, died Monday, December 28, 2009 at Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida.

Neil was born in Bath on September 19, 1944, the son of Paul and Una Haskell Mason. He graduated from Morse High School in 1962 and served in the US Navy from 1964 -1969. He worked for BIW, in the tin shop, from 1969 until he retired in 2004.

After retirement, Neil enjoyed traveling up and down the east coast to visit his children and grandchildren. He was an avid Red Sox fan and coached little league in Bowdoinham, ME for several years. He enjoyed playing golf with all his children and was adored by his grandchildren.

Neil is survived by daughter Deidre Grace Schultz, her husband Russell and their son Grayson of Gainesville, Florida; son Adam Neil Mason, his wife Taraleigh and their son Kilian of Columbia, Maryland; son Chief Petty Officer Eric Lang of Wahiawa, Hawaii and his sons Tyler and Trevor of Kingston, Washington; son Staff Sergeant Jesse Lang and his wife Heather and their children Samantha and Nicholas, of Dublin, Ireland and Jesse’s son Alexander Lang of Manchester, Maine; sister Nancy Mason Riley and her husband Michael of Venice Florida, and their children Shawn, Paul, James and Sarah.

Neil was well loved and will be dearly missed.

An internment ceremony will be Wednesday, January 6, at 2 o'clock PM at the Florida National Cemetery, 6502 SW 102nd Avenue, Bushnell, FL 33513.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the charity of your choice. All other correspondence may be sent to Deidre Schultz, 2701 NW 23rd Blvd #CC194, Gainesville, FL 32605.

Bye Bye Birdie!

Tom was Ed Sullivan in the production this weekend of Bye Bye Birdie!  Kate donned her sock-hop costume from 5th grade to embrace the spirit of the show. For those of you unfamiliar with the musical,  Bye Bye Birdie is set in 1958 and was influenced by Elvis Presley being drafted into the Army in 1957.    Congrats, Tom!!

100 days left

We have just over 100 days left in the UK.  The kids are super excited to get back to the States, and we are too.  We have had a great time here, but look forward to being 'home'. This is the last week of term, and only term 3 left!  The last term supposedly goes fast, as the weather improves, there are Suzuki concerts, the talent show, and lots of field trips. We have some travel still lined up, plus some visitors to join us - looking forward to seeing you, Auntie Sarah and Uncle Aaron!  Stayed tuned for pictures of our last few adventures. We are starting to get the ball rolling on movers and pet shippers and all that fun stuff.  And we have to have the whole flat cleaned once our stuff is out. One step at a time!
