ELLIS

Harry Mason II, peacefully on March 17, 2024, age 90, of Barrington. Harry was a kind, charitable and easy going person.

His family will miss him greatly. Harry graduated from Moorestown Friends High School and then served as a private in the army during the Korean War.

Upon returning home, Harry began a long career in the auto industry, owning an auto loan finance company and an auto insurance agency with his brother called "100 Haddon Avenue Corporation." Later Harry drove for Rapid Rover, transporting people to and from the Philadelphia Airport. He also worked as real estate agent for Main Street Realty in Collingswood. Harry loved surf-fishing and especially surfing from the Margate Pier. He had owned a house in Surf City and later Harvey Cedars, both on Long Beach Island. When his children were young, Harry would go deer and duck hunting where Brendan T. Byrne and Bass River State Forests are now. He would often take his son, Harry and daughter, Jocelyn hunting. Harry had a fondness for beagles but later in life his wife adopted a little Lhasa Apso named Sophie who became his constant companion.

Harry is predeceased by his sibling, Everette S. Ellis, Jr., and son Harry M. Ellis III. Harry is survived by his wife Marilyn A. Ellis (née Ziegler); children, Leslie Ellis (Brian Reilly), Robin M. Ellis of Pocomoke City, MD and Jocelyn M. Ellis (Ronald I. Radcliff, Jr.) of Burlington, NJ; stepdaughter, Michelle Y. Armstrong (David M.) of Newark, DE; two nephews, one niece and four grandchildren.
