William “Bill” Carlton Mastin, age 91, died Sunday, April 8, 2018 at his home in Nunda, NY. The eldest of five children, he was born on June 23, 1926 to Carlton Willis and Effie Eva Mastin in Rochester, New York, and fondly spent part of his childhood on his grandparents’ farm in Nunda, New York. A World War II veteran, Bill served as a staff sergeant in the 104th Infantry Division (The Timberwolves), 414th Infantry Regiment in Europe from 1944 to 1946, which liberated the prisoner camp of Nordhausen, Germany. Bill was employed as a lift truck driver at the Genesee Brewery for 40 years, retiring in 1988. Bill enjoyed telling jokes, making people laugh, finding deals at garage sales, collecting guns, hunting, splitting wood and sitting by the fire, elderberry pie, music (especially Fats Domino), NY Yankees baseball and being in the sun, and he was an avid reader. He was the last surviving original member of Rochester’s First Church of the Nazarene. He is survived by his wife of nearly 70 years Viola “Vicki” of Nunda, NY; his sons William II (LeeAnn) of Nunda, NY, Scott of Dansville, NY and Timothy of Chicago, IL; his daughters Crystal (David Ferrell) of Oakton, VA and Becky (Todd) Wolford of Medina, NY; 7 grandchildren; 1 great-grand child; his three sisters, Anita White, Vera (Don) Owens and Evelyn Pixley; sister-in-law Anne (preceded in death by his brother Edmund); and many beloved extended family members and friends.
