Mascold was a funny individual and he could make you laugh until you cried.  He was humble, reserved, kind, generous and if he had to give you the clothes on his back, he would.  He was a well-educated man and assisted people with important paperwork that they couldn’t have understood.  Mascold was always willing to help anyone in need.  He helped many individuals migrate into this county.  Many lived in his home till they could find their own way.

Although he was legally blind, he moved in his home as if he could have seen everything.  Being the carpenter that he was, he always wanted to fix things around the house.  He loved caring for his great grandkids making sure they ate and were kept safe.  His favorite sport was the West Indian Sport, Cricket.  He loved listening to music, His favorite artist were Bob Marley and Sparrow.  He kept up with all the latest technology and had only the best devices in his home.
