U.S. Navy Chief, J. W. Mason of Jacksonville, Alabama ordered the angels to take him to Heaven on November 6, 2013. Mr. Mason spent many years as a local business owner serving the Anniston community through Uniroyal Tires, Amoco Gas, and Quality Printing. Since retiring, he and his loving wife Lynn have spent their time developing a real estate portfolio in Jacksonville. Mr. Mason was a loving spouse, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and uncle. He was adored and respected by his family, friends, and anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him. For those who spent any great length of time with him would call him a hero, a brilliant advisor, and a person who always pushed individuals to be their personal best.
