My most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Anthony (Andy) Masterson and especially to my sister-in-law Colleen, my brother Jim, and their two children Chelsea and Matthew. I always enjoyed sitting and talking with Andy when I saw him at Jim and Colleen's house. He was special to me because he was born in Newark, my mother's birthplace. Lilly spent some long years watching out for you Andy - your together now, rest in peace forever. Katherine Bystrak Mikel
Our condolences to the Masterson family on your loss. My Father, Ed, worked at NFD truck company 5 with Andy. No doubt Andy was one of the best. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
DEAR RICH,
MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO THE ENTIRE MASTERSON FAMILY.
HE WAS MY CAPT. FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND NOT ONLY A GREAT
FIREFIGHTER BUT ALSO A VERY GOOD FRIEND.
I WILL TRY TO MAKE IT TO THE FUNERAL HOME IN THE MORNING.
My condolences on the loss of your Father. He was a great man. I have memories of him back in the late 1970's when I would visit Colleen. Your parents were wonderful and now they are together again.
Love,
Wendy Conrad Belaski
A true gentleman and so proud to have had the opportunity to spend sometime with him, he will always be in our fondest thoughts and memories may he rest in peace. Our thoughts are with you and your family on this very sad occasion.
Andy was a man's man, an outstanding Fire Officer and a friend. Leading his men at Newark's busiest and best Hook and Ladder Company, Truck 5, fires were extinguished and rescues were made under his leadership. Among his other talents Andy made kitchen cabinets for my brother Gene that all marveled at. Goodbye my friend and may God grant you the honor you deserve.
You dad was a great man, very accomplished and a real true hero. He was from the greatest generation. You can all be very proud to call a man like him dad or pop pop. You have our deepest sympathy. Lee and Margaret
We are sorry for the effect his loss has on family and friends, but at the same time we are happy for him for the long life he had, and that he is now at peace and reunited with family and friends who have gone on before. I expect he is having a beer with my father right about now.
