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.
