Mason, you will be so missed by several of us who worked with you at Lowe's. I cant believe this has happened. You were such a bright light in that place. You brought so many smiles to so many. Man, all the goofing around we did during down times. Definitely made work days more bearable. I remember how proud I was of you at your graduation party and how all your hard work had paid off! I remember the look of absolute shock we both had when, by some chance, I seen you in kroger a couple years ago here in Louisville. It was a pleasant surprise that day. As I had just moved to the area and didn't know anyone! Man, you will be so missed. RIP, Mason.
