Charles R. Mason, 62, fought a battle of Multiple Myeloma, a blood cancer, for 12 years. He peacefully passed away with his family by his side on Wednesday, October 9, 2019. He was born on June 9, 1957, in Bridgeport, Conn.

Throughout his entire career, Charles was a small business owner and jack-of-all-trades within the construction and real estate industry. He was a devoted father, a loving husband, and a wonderful family man. Charles was loved by many and will be greatly missed.
