Michael Mason (6 Jun 1941 - 17 Aug 2019)

In loving memory of Michael Mason who sadly passed away on 17th August 2019. The dearly loved husband of Olive Mason, dear dad of Gail, Carol and Angela and father-in-law of John, Jeff and Patrick, also, the much-loved grandad of Kelly, Gareth and Jessica and great grandad of Freddie, Arthur, Eva and Lilly.

Michael was better known to his friends as Mick, who devoted his life to his family and his community doing the things he loved. He was one of the founder members of the Harworth 'Christie' Organ Enthusiasts which was founded in December 1971, Mick held many key roles on the committee starting with Concert Secretary and then moved onto General Secretary and editor of Golden Notes right up to the present day.

One of his other loves was caravanning. Mick joined the British Caravanners Club (BCC), eventually becoming the Chairman of the East Midlands area. After 10 years in the job he decided to step down and take on a new challenge by becoming a Councillor to the BCC, but he didn’t stop there with his passion for writing and in 2008 he also became the editor of the Caravanning magazine.

Mick's lifelong passion was Rotherham United FC and he was an avid supporter, following the Millers through thick and thin for sixty years, watching them in their original home at Millmoor in the late 50’s until 2012 when they moved to the New York Stadium. Although Mick’s mobility was not the best in the last few years he couldn’t wait for Saturday to come around and he will be sadly missed by everyone that has known him.
