Henry Mas

Henry Mas (80) of East Windsor, Connecticut, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones, on Tuesday, August 26. He was born in Pego, Spain, in 1945, the oldest son of Henry Mas and Rosita Morell McCann. He immigrated to the United States at the age of three and settled in New Britain. He moved to East Windsor in 1957, where his father started Henry's Pizzeria. He graduated from East Windsor High School and proceeded to earn a Bachelor's Degree from American International College in Springfield, MA. He taught high school Spanish before turning his full attention to the restaurant. With his brother Vincent, they ran Henry's Pizzeria side by side for the next sixty years, becoming a staple in the community and in the hearts of their loyal customers. Henry was predeceased by his former wife, Lorraine Mas, and is survived by his four children: Michael H. Mas (East Windsor, CT); Vincent J. Mas (Derrick) (Peekskill, NY); Gregory S. Mas (Lauren) (Enfield, CT) and Elithea M. Mas (West Hartford, CT) and his three beloved grandchildren - Olivia, Ethan, and Benjamin. He is also survived by his brother Vincent Mas (Donna), sister Rosita Tschummi (John) and many nieces and nephews that he loved dearly. Henry dedicated his life to working at the restaurant, where he found purpose and a sense of community. He cherished the friendships he made with customers and took great fulfillment in serving them. He also loved animals and spent many years with his brother breeding and showing Morgan horses. He loved his vacations in Falmouth MA, his frequent visits to Mohegan Sun, catching a Yankees game on TV and spending time with his family. We'd like to give special thanks to Henry's lifelong love, Marie Motta, her daughter, Donna Botticello, and Donna's husband Steve, for opening their home and their hearts to Henry in his final months and taking such good care of him. We are grateful that he was surrounded by so much love in his final days. Relatives and friends are welcome to join the family to remember Henry on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, from 5-7pm, at Leete-Stevens Funeral Home, 61 South Road, Enfield, CT. There will be a Graveside Service for the family at St. Catherine's Cemetery on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 10am. . For online condolences please visit leetestevens.com
