Noah and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Clearly your grandfather was very special to you and to so many people. I hope you find joy in knowing that you gave him a very special gift...a great-granddaughter! Children are the greatest gift of all!

Sending hugs and peace,
Linda and Bob DeYoung

Our sympathies to Marty and Jill. We were unfortunate to not know Calvin Mass, but having just read the obituary, what a wonderful life he lived and what an exemplary person the world will miss.

Dear Marty and Nan,

When I was in college I worked for your Dad for several summers in the mid 1970's. I could hardly believe that he would even hire me, a barely 20 something with no dental experience, but he did! I can honestly say the best job I ever had as a kid was working for your dad. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences.

Dr. Cal was an inspirtion to many of us at The McAuley.

Among my favorite memories are his sharing his poetry which revealed his delightful sense of humor and love of life. I discovered him occasionally "parked" in his wheel chair between cars-- praying! It was evident to me that his faith was very much alive and very important to him.

Dear Marty and Jill - Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of such an incredible man. Clearly his time here on earth made a wonderful and purposeful impact. Share memories of him in the years ahead and look for the gifts of love and wisdom he will continue to give you as you remember him. With love, Patty and Dale Naegeli

I am so so sorry for the loss of your father. He's not with Mom. hugs IRENE

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved father. You were so lucky to have had him with you for so many years. You were a wonderful son and what you both shared will remain in your heart forever. Love, Debbie

Dr. Martin Mass & family,

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. I was a patient of his for some 25 years. From when I was a kid until he retired and his practice was taken over by Dr. Gelb. He was a great man and dentist. I missed being a patient of his and again want to offer my deepest sympathy.

Dr. Mass was my dentist as a child up to my teenage years on Gillette St in Hartford. I have never been afraid to go to the dentist due to Dr. Mass; I actually looked forward to it. I loved seeing him and hearing his jokes, watching him swing between the dental chair and the counter...he would ask me questions while working on my mouth and tell me to close my right eye for yes and left eye for no. I have such fond memories of Dr. Mass...he was and always will be my favorite dentist.

I am a friend of Calvin's granddaughter Dara Kristt Hebert. Calvin was a magnificent man. He was intelligent, kind, inclusive, and an incredible story teller! And above all, he was a gentleman. He always greeted me with a smile, a joke, or story. I will never forget when Dara asked him to show me his hat book. What a collection of photos! It is no wonder why Dara is also such an incredible person. I feel blessed to have met Calvin and I will remember him fondly. I send my condolences to Dara, Eric, and Nan Kristt and the rest of Calvin's family. I saw how proud he was of Dara at her law school graduation and I also knew how excited he was for Dara and Tom Hebert's recent wedding where he made a surprise "appearance" via video. Calvin was one-of-a-kind and he will be missed by many, including me.
