Not sure what made me think about him today, but found this site, and am sorry to learn of his passing. I was one of his many students many years ago. He was often exasperated by how slow we were, but always energetic and enthusiastic. Always had a joke or silly pun to offer (math-related, of course!) He was really good,
I would say rest in peace, Mr. Mason. But you are probably showing Euclid something interesting right now.
Don Nickel says
I just received the sad news of Bruce’s passing. I spent many ours with Bruce and found him to be gentle, generous, and – a mathematical genius. His kind is rare indeed! Sadly, Don (and Kay) Nickel.

Mr. Mason was my math teacher at RCI and he had a positive influence in my life; to Instill the passion of problem solving and mathematics in our every day lives. A brilliant mathematician and a humble man. I also had the pleasure of working with him as a colleague, as a VP at RCI. So many are grateful for his contributions as a teacher, coach and mentor. Thank you for all your dedication, hard work. You have touched so many lives. May you RIP, Mr Mason. Sincerely, your student Sue Pavisic (Greenaway).

Maureen and Douglas Marshall says
Maureen and I saw Bruce as a beautiful soul who got along with anyone. I can only imagine he was a great teacher and that his students loved him. My sister, Jean, was married to Bruce’s deceased brother Don. Bruce’s mother, father and Don will be having some awesome bridge games for sure now that Bruce has arrived on the other side.
RIP Bruce. Maureen and Douglas Marshall
Jane Falconer (Crease) says
Bruce was in the same year at Runnymede with me all those years ago and we both enjoyed the great times with really wonderful teachers and students. Some of those students came back to teach there. I didn’t – I left to teach in Australia. He did and made himself quite a name by the tributes I have been reading. I always kept in touch with someone from that year to hear what folks were doing. Bruce being one I use to love hearing about. Such a character. He was very loved.
RIP Bruce. Jane Crease (Falconer)
