Obituary
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 is also survived by his son, Billy Joe (Cathy)
Mason Jr; his sister, Jenny Sams; his grandchildren,
Chauntea Mason and Adam (Amy) Nudo; and his two
great-grandchildren.
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.
Services for Bill will be held at 2:00 p.m. on
Monday, March 9, 2020 at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader
Funeral Home, Mount Pulaski. Visitation will take
place one hour prior to the service (1:00-2:00 p.m.)
also at the funeral home. Burial will follow the
services at Steenbergen Cemetery in Mount Pulaski,
where full military rites will be accorded by the
Mount Pulaski American Legion Post #447.
Memorial donations may be made in Bill’s name to
Open Arms Christian Fellowship, Lincoln.
