He was one of 8 children for Judson 'Lorne' Mason & Mary Lavenia 'Millie' Hawes out of Tangier, Nova Scotia.  Judson was a fisherman like his father but I don't know how many of his boys followed suit.

Rita, Vera & Etta's marriages to men from Massachusetts meant they relocated to the United States; the rest of the kids remained in Nova Scotia.
