W.F. Mason Jr.

I lived next door to Bill on the farm in Franklin county. My wife called him "The boy next door" because we were always hanging out and getting into things. I remember when he fell at the Lynchburg train station and got hurt, I kept the snow off of his steps so he could safely get into the house when he got out of the hospital. I often thought of him after I moved away for work, wondering what new projects he had going on at the farm. Bill will be sorely missed by everyone he ever came in...

Cathye and I were deeply sadden to read that Bill had passed away. He was a truly good person, as a friend and a lawyer. He will be missed by his many friends. Please accept our deepest condolences.

A wonderful friend. He will be greatly missed.
