Laura, Allison and Scott,
I worked with your father for many years and continued exchanging e-mails until probably the end of March. We swapped books all the time when we worked together (in the 1980-1990's) especially historical stuff and we had so many lively discussions, particularly about Lewis & Clark!! I have a picture of him holding my baby daughter that I cherish. He talked about all of you a lot, and we had a great party at the cottage when he retired....

Warren was a partner and friend, loved by Lesley and me. His wisdom, friendship, and humor helped his partners through stressful times. He pioneered the specialty of Rheumatology in Grand Rapids and was compassionate with his patients, spending much extra time with them. Colleagues held him in high esteem. He loved history, and his inquiring mind explored other pursuits, such as archaeology, and led to many stimulating discussions. R.I.P, Warren, we'll miss you! Our condolences to your...

Dear Dr. Mason's family,
I was fortunate enough to work for your dad when I moved to Grand Rapids 36 years ago. He was a wonderful employer and man! His sense of humor will never be forgotten and I will never forget all the kindness he showed to my family and me. He was an amazing man and I'm so sorry to hear of his death. My sincere sympathy to you and all of his family.

Warren was a great friend and felow medical student and then intern at Butterwoth Hosp in Grand Rapids. He and his family were very close to Grace and me I will miss his great sense of humor and his intelligent approach to medicine. We had many laughs together during out internship and in later years. My sympathy to the family who were very important to he and Marg. Lloyd E. Appell MD , Vicksburg, Michigan Class of '54

Dear Laura,
Upon reading Warren Mason's obituary, it is clear that this was a man who led a full, meaningful and accomplished life. It appears that he has left deep footprints and a lasting legacy. What more could a person ask of life? And it is also clear that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Sincere condolences to you, Steve, Sarah, Zack & all your siblings.

Warren was a historian and was a valued friend and resource person. His knowledge will be deeply missed as will his love for "BMMC".

I was a patient of Dr Mason for about 15 years. He was a great dr. who was willing to spend time with his patients. I'm Sorry for your loss.
