5 years, hard to believe that.
RIP Sailor James Masson.

A year later and I still think about you and your smile. You never failed to make me laugh.  You are so missed xoxo

As we get closer to the start of another Masonic year it still feels like something is missing in lodge. Your  big voice , your even bigger laugh , but mostly your friendship. 

Miss you Sailor !

Bob and I have fond memories of watching James grow into a young man and start a family over the summers at the cottage.  We remember when James and Ryan built the tree house in the woods - took many years for it to come down.  Every time we pass that tree we will remember James.

James will live on in the hearts of friends and family as everyone continues to share their memories in the years ahead.

RIP James

With our deepest condolences on the loss of a son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend.  May your all your fond memories help ease your sorrow during this difficult time.

Bob and Cheryl

James, my Friend and Brother among Masons.You always had a Big Smile and a warm embrace or handshake for us. Your good outlook & laugh was Infectious.
Our Installations were but a week or so apart In Jan,2019. I was pleased to be present with:Justin,Ted,Sean,George,Ray,Gary,Tony ,Kevin,Mark,&Landon to support your placement in the East.
It was a great ,Happy Day then, BUT ....
The very Saddest of Days today.
We will cherish your memory in our Hearts.
Rest well my Faithful Brother.

James was always energetic! I remember us taking the boat out at the cottage and trying to find the highest cliff side to climb! One time we decided to actually attempt to climb one and when we did we realized the boat wasn’t anchored all the way and scrambled to get back down to the water and swim as hard as we could to try and get back in. 

I will miss you man! 



THE BUCKLE
         The coarse of masons, the ties that bind us together, the knowledge of truth of honour and of virtue. If we were not a part of this fraternity we may have met but not necessarily  bonded, yet because we are brothers we did.  We were and still are brothers, we shared our laughter, our sorrows and our pain, we supported each other, and stood by each other. Together we began a path of honour and brotherly love between our lodges . A legacy started by you and will be continued by us. All because you found me by the Masonic buckle I wear.  I am pleased to have made your acquaintance. 
            As we prepare for your send off in our usual manor I am reminded of its meaning, we will celebrate your life, the times we had both good and bad, I will remember. We will cherish your memory in our hearts, I will remember.  By doing so you will remain living in our hearts. 
      My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to your family and friends. Let us all remember your smile and your laughter. 

I meat you James at the beginning of your life.  You had a big mop of dark hair just like your Dad.  You was a small copy of him.   Your Dad was just clucking  all over you.  So deeply in love with you i had to go to the loo to hide my tears.  As to see Glen like that!
I moved back to England not long after but have followed you growing up.  Meeting your partner & having your lovely kids through your loving Dad & untie Sandy.  Even before fb your Dad would send me pictures of you growing up.
You was the centre of your Dad's universe  & made him hole.  
You gave him grand kids who he adores & will take care  of with there Mum.    
Untie Sandy will be a big support as has always been in her nephews life as with her son's as with Sandy's & Glens Mum & Dad passed.   James grandparents that loved him to bit's who's arms he is in! xxxx 

This is with a heavy heart to write this as you have left too soon James!

So many memories to share as you have been in the family for so long. I begin with when you and Ashely came to live with us in Cambridge, many challenges and accomplishments that you strives towards and made happen, “Oh and all the funny stories we had at the Wipp household.” I sure missed you when you moved back to Oshawa but was so happy for the Grandparents when their 1st grandson Blaize was born and the later came Dash.
We had so many family gatherings in the years to follow that we will all cherish; I will miss your Big Smile and your Boisterous personality. Much love Darlene and Tony 💕
RIP James; Paul will be looking out for you!

James..  buddy... words cannot fully describe the sadness I feel knowing that smile, laugh, and outrageous personality are gone. From the moment we meet u made me feel like I was family, thank you for that my friend, the feeling was mutual. Save a spot up there for me and have some sailor ready cause its "gonna be an all nighter tonight!" Cheers brother! xo

James
We cannot believe we are getting ready for your funeral! This is all so surreal and the rush of memories are endless. From all of our crazy family gatherings to our favourite long weekends here in Muskoka! We will forever miss that charismatic energy and excitement that you emitted everywhere you went. 
Here’s to you!! 
Xoxo

James loved and cared for all of the members of the Masson family.  His dad Glen and Linda, who were very proud to have him as a son. His dear boys Blaize and Dash who loved him dearly. He looked up to and loved his grandparents Doreen and  Alex . They were always there to support him. He loved his aunt Sandra and his uncle Kelly.  He loved his great aunt Audrey and uncle Duncan as well as his cousins Conrad, Sean and Lisa . He cared very much for Duncan, Kevin and little Alexis as well as for all of  the other members of his family who live in Aberdeen Scotland. He was very proud of his Scottish heritage.
