Dennis L. Mason

Dennis lived a long life and developed many talents along the way. He lived in Wichita during WWII and did his part for the war effort working on B-29 bombers at The Boeing Company. After moving to Northwest Arkansas, he opened a hatchery and feed store in Bentonville. He was a peerless handyman and spent the later years of his life working as a builder and electrician, teaching the trade to other members of his family. Outside of work, he was a hunter and fisherman.

His survivors include his daughter, Patricia Ann Means and husband Homer of Rogers; grandchildren, Sherry Sparks, David, John, Scot, Miles, and Jarod Mason; and numerous great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife of 62 years, Alice Mason; son, Kenneth Mason; sister, Lorene Boling; and nephew, Mike Boling.
