Truro area news

Relatives and friends of the Mease family were notified of the death of their cousin, Paul Leland Mease. He passed away on Jan. 27 after a short fight with cancer. Paul is the son of the late Jay and Pauline Mease.

A memorial service is planned for in early March at the Masonic Lodge Temple in El Cajon, Calif. where he served as Grand Master for several terms.

At the time of his death he was in the care of his youngest daughter and son in law, Stephanie and Cal Lewis, in Roseville, Calif. Mary, who is Paul’s wife, wasn’t strong physically to take care of her husband and his needs while he was ill so their daughter and her husband provided the tender loving care. I’m sure Paul and Mary both appreciated the care given by Stephanie and Cal.
