I have always been proud of my brother, Harry. He fought bravely for our country and was a dedicated Police officer. But I admired his dedication and love for his wife and family most. He enjoyed time spent with them and they really got his humor. My daughters also enjoyed Uncle Harry’s sense of humor. He was always there as the oldest to be a rock you could depend upon. Then there is his faith in God. He touched many by bringing the Holy Eucharist to them when they were unable to go to Church. I remember him bringing our Dad communion and the reverence he had for the true presence. He was a man of few words but his life spoke loudly of his love of God. I will miss him terribly but I am consoled in knowing where he is now and who he is seeing in Heaven.
Thoughts and prayers are with you Chery, your children and the entire Masterson family. Harry and I go way back to our days working together at Princeton University. It was my pleasure knowing him, working with him at Princeton and later at Ewing PD and, occasionally, partying together!
Mat You Rest In Peace My Friend
