The first thing that I think of where Dr. Masters is concerned is the fact that he LOVED and was LOVED.

He contributed abundance to the people in Tahlequah. I only knew him for a very brief time while attending N.E.S.C. 58-62.



We can be assured he is in the Hands of our LORD, and give The LORD thanks that we were priviledged to have known him at all.



My deepest symphathy to his Family and Close Friends.

Masters Family there are too many memories of this great physician and humanitarian that served Tahlequah unselfishly to mention. He lead a full and exemplery life for all to follow. I don't know how anyone could ask more of a human being. My thoughts and prayers to all his children who are my personal friends. Dr.Masters definitely left the wood pile higher than he found it in life. May God Bless. With Love David
