Harold Dean Masters, 93, of Advance, Missouri, passed away on May 15, 2022 at Advance Assisted Living surrounded by family. Harold was born February 27, 1929 to Henry James Masters and Veta (Johnson) Masters in Frisbee, Missouri.
He grew up in Campbell, Missouri where at age 12 he started working to help provide for his siblings. He would tell the stories of contacting the railroad to use the railroads ground behind their home to farm. He also spent a lot of his days picking cotton and peaches as a boy. His Grandma helped him raise hogs for income as well.
At age 19, he started buying and selling cars. A local businessman let him sell his cars off his lot, thats where it all began. As many of you know, this continued up until around age 88.
After Harold graduated Campbell High School in 1947, he moved to Michigan for a short time to work at his Uncles gas station. In 1951, he received his diploma from Glad Tidings Temple Bible Institute in St. Louis, Missouri where he was ordained.
Soon after he met Beulah Jean (Underwood) Masters, she said she thought she was marrying a Pastor. But no, he started working at McDonnell Aircraft Corp in St Louis where he worked in the vault protecting classified information on aircrafts built for the government.
In 1970, Harold retired from McDonnell Douglas and moved the family to the farm. He loved farming! Another passion was buying and selling, from cars and trucks, campers and motorhomes, to tractors and farm equipment. In His later years, houses.
He was a man of faith and wisdom. He knew the Lord and trusted in Him. Many, many times, he told us the Lord had spoke to him to do certain things. He was very sensitive to His voice and His leading.
Harold was preceded in death by his wife of 68 years, Beulah Jean (Underwood) Masters grandson, Aaron Keith Masters and three of his sisters, Henrietta Boyd, Patrica McClure, and Colleen Jordon.
He is survived by his son, David Masters of Advance, MO daughter, Janet (Terry) Robison of Advance, MO three granddaughters, Amanda Robison of Advance, MO, Sarah Robison of Jackson, MO, and Rebecca (Darren) Willey of Jackson, MO great grandson, Zane Aaron Keith Masters of Wentzville, MO and sister, Joann Masters of Florida.
He was a good husband, father, and grandpa. He was loved and will be missed dearly.
