He was born November 25, 1939 in Columbus, Ohio to the late Chauncey and Elsie (Geiger) Mason; also preceded in death by his brother Gene Mason and his first wife of 43 years, Phyllis Mason. Bob remarried in 2005. He and his new bride, Patricia Seaton, were joined in matrimony in a fairy tale wedding that took place in Gallipolis City Park. They enjoyed ten wonderful years together. In addition to his beloved wife Patty, he is survived by his stepsons, Duane (fiancé Vickie Lockridge), John (Tamara Smith) and Kevin Seaton; cousins, extended family, and his puppy (daddy's girl) Brandy.
