"Mr. Mason W. Waters Jr., 59, of Thurmont, died Sunday, July 22, at John Hopkins in Baltimore. He was the husband and best friend of Olivia M. Myers for nearly 29 years.

Born on April 11, 1948 in Cavetown, he was a son of the late Mason and Margaret Kline Waters.

Mr. Waters graduated from Smithsburg High School and went on to graduate from Frostburg State College. He worked for the Division of Corrections for 19 years, including serving as the warden at the Maryland Correctional Institution in Hagerstown. For five years, he was the warden at the Carroll County Detention Center in Westminster. He also worked for the Hot Spots Program through the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention and he substitute taught in Frederick County Schools.

He was respected for his straight-forward, relaxed style of management, and he genuinely cared about his employees. He was a dedicated father and husband who loved spending time with his family. He enjoyed coaching Girls Softball in Thurmont Little League as well as attending his children's sporting events. He loved to travel with his family and enjoyed playing poker with his high school friends.

Surviving besides his wife are his children, Colin and Whitney Waters of Thurmont; and his sister, Linda Bowman of Hagerstown.
