Paul J. Mason, 84, of Vancouver, WA, passed away on Nov. 6, 2012. He was born in Anselmo, NE.
Paul joined the U.S. Army in January 1952. He served in the 6th Army in Europe as part of the occupation forces after WW II and was honorably discharged as Corporal.
Paul was a very active member in the American Legion, VFW, 40 & 8, Voiture 99 and Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service. He belonged to Crossroads Church.
He and his wife, Harriette, were avid square dancers and loved bowling. Paul won numerous trophies and could lay down a ball without it being heard-Amazing!
He retired from Jantzen Knitting Mills in Portland, OR as plant maintenance manager with 43 years of service.
Paul is survived by nephews, Roger, Lance and James Burton; nieces, Carolyn Wolhgemuth, Cynthia Lena Breen and Jackie Robert; and brother-in-law, Bill Hughes.

I will miss seeing him at Clark College. The Walter Schultz Scholarship has helped to make it possible for many nurses to attend nursing school. Thank you for all of your service Paul!

I have such fabulous memories of Paul and Harriette! When I was growing up, they lived next door to Virgil and Thelma Manning, and we would go over sot he adults could play bridge. Paul and Harriette treated my brother and I like their own kids and they were all so loving and fun and kind. Just thinking about them brings a smile to my face. Thank you, Paul and Harriette. Rest in Peace.

To the family of Paul Mason,
I worked with Paul for 25 plus years at the Bingo Parlor. He was like a second father. He always had to listen and offer some sage advise.
He will be missed.
