The authors study generalizations of the classical orthogonal polynomials by adding one or two point mass(es) at the end(s) of the interval of orthogonality. In the case of one point mass they derive the generalized Laguerre, Meixner, Charlier and Krawtchouk polynomials and in the case of two point masses the generalized Jacobi and Hahn polynomials. Many of these generalizations were studied earlier by several authors. In the paper under review the authors derive the explicit representations and all limit transitions between these generalized orthogonal polynomials. For the generalized Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials introduced by \textit{T. H. Koornwinder} [Can. Math. Bull. 27, No. 2, 205-214 (1984; Zbl 0532.33010)] they also derive the explicit coefficients for their second order differential equations by using Mathematica.
