Great memories in Park with Mason's fast pitch softball at my house just down the street. He always was getting me to catch for him, to warm up his arm. What a guy. Who can forget Utah Coal & Lumber or Holly playing with JoAnn. We all love your family and are saddened by the loss of a happy fellow who loved life.

Mason Smith... Thank you, for all the Wonderful years of laughter and kind words throughout Washougal/Camas. A firm handshake, a warm smile & the kindness of words is how I will always remember Mason. When Mason would come visit he would always throw his arm around me and ask an employee "Now which one us is the best looking... Nah, don't answer that I know who you would choose" we all would always erupt in laughter. My daughter Katie will always have a memorable & loving thought of Mason. He always had a Two Dollar bill with him. Many times he would give one to her and tell her to hold onto it, don't spend it. These are just a few of the loving memories we have shared with Mason. He was a delight and will be missed by all. God bless & Love and prayers to his family as well.

He was so influential in my life as a strong man, loving, kind, and in many ways a grandfather. I am so blessed to know him and will forever remember his warm smile. He always had a treat for us, loved those gumball machines!!
