He was married to Mayme Kiser, they had two daughters, Dorothy and Marion.[1] Massey was the first mayor of Houston to serve under the city manager form, rather than the city commission form of government.[2] As mayor, he supported a proposal to sell 13312 acres of land to the M.D. Anderson Foundation in December 1943. This land would be developed into hospitals in the Houston Medical District.[3] He proclaimed May 22, 1946 to be National Maritime Day in Houston.[4]
