Billy Joe Mason Sr, 89, of Lake Fork passed away on Wednesday, March 4, 2020 in his home surrounded by his family.

Bill was born on December 4, 1930 in rural Logan County, the son of Harry and Hallie Marie (Huffman) Mason. He married Shirley Jean Hollars in 1957 in Shelbyville, IL. She survives in Lake Fork.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents; and his son, Ricky.

Bill worked as a farmer in his early years, then drove trucks and worked for the Mount Pulaski Township. Bill plowed snow for the township for many years. He would be up and out as soon as the wind stopped blowing keeping the roads open for everyone. He was a member of Buffalo Christian Church for many years. He enjoyed a ministry of visiting people in their homes and local hospitals. After retirement you could catch him mowing yards in Lake Fork or sitting in his little Red Golf Cart along route 54 enjoying the traffic going by.
