The son of Russian immigrants Rose Koppelman Bass and Ben Bass, Jerry was born August 4, 1931 in Louisville, KY. Orphaned by the age of 10, Jerold Morton, as he was called by his family, was raised by a loving committee of Aunts and Uncles. Most notably, Aunt Sadie Linker, Aunt Yetta Platoff, and Aunt Annie Fine and their families. Jerry graduated from Louisville Male High School and the University of Kentucky in Lexington with a Bachelor's degree in Business. Following graduation, he adopted the nickname Jerry, although he continued to be known to his family as Jerold. Jerry received an ROTC commission in the U.S. Air Force and served for 2 years on active duty. Shortly after completing his service commitment, Jerry joined International Business Machines (IBM) in the new field of data processing-computer sales. After numerous assignments in different cities, he settled in Houston, Texas. Jerry left IBM in 1961 and subsequently became an investment advisor, initially with Goodbody, moving to Blythe, Eastman, Dillon, which became Paine Webber, now UBS Financial Services. After 46 years in the financial services industry, Jerry retired in June 2009. Jerry married Phyllis Battelstein (z'l) in 1958, and had two children, H. Anthony Bass of Scottsdale, AZ, and Anne R. Bass Diskin of Houston. Phyllis passed away in 2002. Together, they had three grandchildren, Meredith Diskin, Gregory Diskin, and Jesse Bass. In 2004, Jerry married Susan Coleman Bass, formerly of Atlanta. With that marriage, two more children were added to the family: Jessica Stahlman Hartin of Atlanta and Ben Stahlman, of Austin and one more grandchild, Ryder Hartin. Jerry and Susan lived a very happy life, filled with travel and friends. In addition to their love for one another, they shared a deep spiritual connection and commitment to Reform Judaism. Throughout his life, Jerry was active in the community, serving as President of Hillel at University of Kentucky. After moving to Houston, he was active at Congregation Beth Israel, serving on the Board of Trustees, Secretary/Treasurer, Vice-President and finally, President of the congregation. Jerry served on the board of Trustees of the Jewish Federation of Houston, the Houston Community Foundation. Active in the Reform Jewish Movement on the regional and national levels, Jerry served on the Board of Overseers of the Hebrew Union College/Jewish Institute of Religion, as President of the Southwest Council of the Union for Reform Judaism, and on the Board of Trustees for the Union for Reform Judaism, the umbrella organization for Reform Judaism in North America. Jerry was predeceased by his parents, his first wife, and his brother, Alvin. Jerry is survived by his loving wife, children and grandchildren and by his nephew, Gregory Singlust of Louisville, KY, and nieces Robin Applewhite of Greer, SC., Polly Haering of Fisher, IN, and Melanie Bass of Woodland Hills, CA. He also leaves his "big sister" Mary Harberg, and lifelong friends, Sandy and Sam Chaskin, along with countless other close friends whose lives he has touched, and whose company he loved to share. Throughout the difficulties he faced, his close friends were always there to lift him up and were, in turn, lifted by his generosity, and love of life. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, August 19th at 10:00 AM, at Congregation Beth Israel, 5600 North Braeswood Blvd. Interment to follow at Beth Israel Memorial Gardens on Antoine. Pallbearers: Stanley Benovitz, Sam Chaskin, Desey Desenberg, Jim Fish, Franklin J. (Jay) Harberg Jr., Alan Rauch, Morton Seline. Honorary Pallbearers: Past Presidents of Congregation Beth Israel.

Don Bass of Hermitage, Tennessee
October 21, 1937 ? December 25, 2021

HERMITAGE ? Don Bass, age 84, died peacefully at his home before dawn on Christmas morning. Don was born October 21, 1937 to Aaron and Ellen Frances Hudson Bass on a farm near Watertown, TN. His boyhood during the hard years of the Thirties and WWII laid the foundation for an unending belief in the importance of hard work and family. Don graduated from Watertown High School in 1955 and moved to Nashville with his new bride, the former Marie Hayes. Rising early, Don delivered milk in Donelson before becoming a State Farm Insurance Agent. Many of his first customers were the families that he had met delivering milk. His career was highly successful because of his friendly smile, cheerful optimism, and desire to work hard in the rapidly growing Donelson/Hermitage area. For several years Don was State Farm?s Top Sales Agent in the United States. On his best days, he would write 10-12 new policies each day. In the Eighties, Don built his own office building in Hermitage and later started an equally successful career as a real estate investor in Hermitage and Mt. Juliet.
Don?s life encompassed far more than business. He was a member of the Donelson Lions Club for over 40 years; Lions International recognized him as a ?Melvin Jones Fellow,? the organization?s highest honor for community service. He served on the Community Board of Wilson Bank & Trust. A charter member of Hermitage Hills Baptist Church, Don served as a Trustee and Treasurer for many years. In his later years, he was an active member of Donelson Presbyterian Church. Most of all, Don was happy when he was together with friends and family. He shared monthly lunches with his Watertown high school friends. He and his two brothers never missed being together on Christmas. He cherished his role as ?Pop? or ?Pops? for all his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. When Don met people, he routinely and unabashedly asked about their age, marital status, and homeplace---not just to collect data and make conversation, but because he was genuinely interested in everyone he met. In later years, Don was most at peace on the deck of his ?lake house in the woods? at Center Hill watching the water, the birds, and leaves shifting in the morning breeze. To anyone nearby, he would contentedly say ?I hope heaven is like this?.
Don was preceded in death by his parents; first wife Marie Bass; daughter Debi King; great-grandchildren Samuel Clark and River King. He is survived by his wife, Judy; daughter Donna Bell (Darrell); and step children Sandie Harper (Brooks), Nancy Harbolic (Bobby) and Greg Holzmeyer (Renee). Grandchildren are Heather Hayes (Matt), Stephen Bell (Sabrina), Jacob Bell (Talon), Tatum Clark (Herby), Josh (Heather), and Zach King (Nikki). Step grandchildren are Reese (Taylor Gonyea), Noah (Anna Cole), Lily, Aimee and Wilson Harper, Paul Holzmeyer (Mike), Rebecca Sells (Justin), and Hannah Danser (Dylan). His extended family includes his devoted brothers Ray Bass (Bonnie) and Bobby Bass (Sandra) and his sisters-in-law Ruth Loper, Linda Dickens (Clarence) and Mary Kaye Jordan (Louis) and son-in-law David King (Sonja). He is also survived by fourteen great-grandchildren, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews as well as many friends in the Hermitage community, State Farm, and Wilson Bank & Trust.
A Celebration of Life will be January 7 at 1 p.m. at Hermitage Hills Baptist Church with Dr. Paul Casner, Pastor at Donelson Presbyterian Church, officiating. The service will also be live streamed at www.HermitageHills.com. Visitation will precede the service from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m and also at the Hunter Funeral Home in Watertown on Thursday, January 6 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. In concern for each other, the family requests masks be worn at both visitation and the celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to American Cancer Society, St. Jude?s Children?s Hospital, Donelson Presbyterian Church, Hermitage Hills Baptist Church or Alive Hospice.

In Loving Memory Of
Ernest ?Guy? Bass (Picture included)
January 26, 1934 ? March 21, 2014

Ernest Guyton "Guy" Bass, Jr., died peacefully on March 21, 2014, after a long struggle with Alzheimer's Disease. He was born on January 26, 1934 in Vidalia, Georgia to Margaret Louise Wilson and Ernest Guyton Bass, Sr., and the family moved to south Florida when Guy was six months old. Guy graduated from Fort Lauderdale High in 1951 where he was a proud "Flying L" football player and a member of the marching band. He graduated from the University of Florida in 1955, and remained an avid Gator fan throughout his life. Guy was married to his high school sweetheart, Jeanne Grace DeShields for 59 years. They were inseparable until his disease demanded special care. At the University of Florida Guy majored in Real Estate, one of the first such programs in the country. Guy was an extremely successful Realtor, known for his integrity and his willingness to mentor those coming into the business. At age 44 he was elected as the President of the Florida Association of Realtors, and at the time he was the youngest person ever to fill that office. Guy relished being a Realtor, and owned a real estate firm for fifty-five years. He gave his time proudly and tirelessly and served on countless boards, including the SunTrust Board (over 40 years), the Fort Lauderdale Planning and Zoning Board (17 years), the Broward Community College Board of Directors (President, 1989), and the Girl Scouts of America Board. He was named one of five outstanding young men in 1967 by the Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce. Guy was a great fisherman, loved both deep sea and fresh water fishing, and was known for his ability to find the fish long before the invention of sonar fishfinders. He fished in Florida as well as in the North Carolina mountains where his family had a cottage in Balsam. Guy and his family enjoyed snow skiing in Colorado with friends.

Rodolphe ?Jerry? Gerald Bessette Jr.
June 20, 1947 ? January 1, 2022

WELLFLEET - Jerry Bessette was born on June 20th, 1947, in Acushnet, MA. He died peacefully at Cape Cod Hospital on January 1, 2022, surrounded by his wife and daughters after a brief illness. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Jean, his three daughters, Michelle (Charles) Connors, Aime Bessette (Peter Lennon), and Brooke (TJ) Shea. He leaves five grandchildren, Alex, Meghan, Campbell, Mackenzie and Brad, and his two dogs Cappy and Baxter. He is also survived by his sister, Ellen O?Brien and nephews Michael and Matthew.
Jerry washed ashore and settled in Wellfleet permanently in 1968. While Jerry was indeed a ?wash ashore?, he was born with the salt of the Cape running through his veins. His salty nature meant he always spoke his mind, albeit with quick wit and humor. He was an amazing entertainer and storyteller. Stopping to talk to Jerry meant you were typically late for your next engagement, and you were likely to hear the same story more than once.
Jerry made a living in Wellfleet as sole proprietor of Briarmead Building and Wellfleet Mobil until he retired in 2018. He gave many Wellfleet kids their first paying job, teaching them what hard work looked like. While he gave so many their first chance, he gave others many chances in life. He was always willing to help someone in need.
Jerry could frequently be found at the pier with his Labrador riding shotgun in the jeep. He so loved his boys Rudder and Baxter. He had a deep love of fishing. His ritual was always to release the first catch of the year. May he find calm breezes and tight lines.
A celebration of Jerry?s life will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2022 from 3-6 pm at the Chequessett Yacht & Country Club, 680 Chequessett Neck Rd., Wellfleet.
Donations in Jerry?s honor can be made to the Wellfleet Chamber of Commerce Scholarship Fund at P.O. Box 442 Wellfleet, MA 02667.

Pastor Doris Bass
October 5, 1935 ? December 26, 2025

On Friday, December 26, 2025, the earth lost an iconic woman of virtue, a shepherding mother, a humble servant, and crowned jewel, and Heaven gained a precious soul. The most beloved Pastor Doris Bass transitioned from this life and was called from her labor to reward.

Her journey began on October 5, 1935, when Doris (Mamie) was born to Martha Ann Donald in Johnston County, North Carolina. Doris was blessed to be raised by Mallie and Nettie Richardson. Growing up, Doris was favored by the love of her Richardson and Scarboro siblings: Esther, Willie, David (Boyee), Nathan, Robert, James, Luther, Wilbert, Roosevelt, Joseph, Rodney, Carolyn, Coy, Ercell, John, Arthur, and Ida Mae; all of whom she maintained close bonds. She was educated in Zebulon school system, and the journey led her to New York City in the 1950s.

As the wife of Merlin Bass, Jr. and mother to Cynthia (Gail), Gloria, Myrnia (Pearl), Merlin (Butch), Jerry, and Audrey she established a legacy of love that extended to her thirteen grandchildren: Lamont, Crystal, Demetris, Reginald Jr., Larry Jr., Merlin IV, Yolanda, Jahmar, Malik, Callia, Brittany, Zaira, and Jordyn; great-grandchildren, spiritual children, nieces, nephews and a host of family-friends. Doris was well known for being caring and feeding everyone. She opened her home to anyone in need of a safe haven. Her home was her castle where she entertained family and friends, enjoyed caring for her plants, cooking special dishes, and ?coffee time conversations.?

Doris Bass was raised in a Christian home, and her journey would lead her into ministry. In the 1980s at Tabernacle of Blessings in St. Albans, Queens, under the late Rev. Clifton E. Durham, Doris carried multiple responsibilities, including noonday prayer, kitchen operations, and hospitality, playing a key role in building the small but growing ministry. During this time, her spiritual hunger deepened, and she recognized God?s call on her life. This calling was affirmed when she was licensed as an evangelist in the summer of 1984. She remained a faithful servant at Tabernacle of Blessings until its dissolution in the late 1980s, and later continued ministry service at Maranatha Tabernacle under Dr. James C. Blocker, where she served as a nurse, aide, and spiritual encourager to the congregation.

In 1998, the next destination on her journey was Fountain of Praise under the leadership of Pastor Dorothy Hyman, where Evangelist Bass gained renewed strength and perspective in ministry. Before relocating in 2004, Pastor Hyman released Bass to begin her own pastoral work. That same year, God impressed a clear vision upon her, leading to the start of a small Friday night Bible study and, soon after, the launch of Living Praise Tabernacle. The church held its first Sunday morning service on June 28, 2004, and in September of that year, Doris Bass was officially ordained and installed as pastor of the Living Praise Tabernacle. Her ordination, officiated by Rev. Durham was a full-circle moment and witnessed by fellow clergy, marking the fulfillment of her call after decades of faithful service. Pastor Bass served Living Praise (now The Living Church) until her health declined.

Although her journey was not always easy, Doris Bass was graced for her journey. It was a journey that thrust her into Christian service. It was a journey that birthed compassion for the hungry and the homeless. It was a journey that caused her kind heart to share encouraging words that would stand through tough times. It was a journey that caused her to endure hardness as a good soldier. We are thankful that we are made better because of her witness and her journey.

James Bassett Obituary, Find-a-Grave

James was born on February 23, 1940 in Pittsburgh, PA to James E. Bassett a steelworker and Ruby Wofford Bassett a homemaker. James was called home to his heavenly reward on October 28, 2018 after a brief illness.

He was the oldest of eight children and raised in Glen Hazel Heights public housing. He distinguished himself as a scholar athlete in high school. He was given a scholarship to play baseball and basketball at Shaw University where he also pledged Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. While matriculating at Shaw, he was drafted by the US Army to serve during the Vietnam war and was trained as a sharpshooter. Upon discharge, he returned to college and married his college sweetheart, Geraldine Joyner, and from this union, three children, Kimberly, Odetta, and James were born.

After graduation, James was employed as a social caseworker and worked in many capacities in the Anti-Poverty Programs. He also worked part-time at the Rahway State Prison as a counselor. In 1968, he began a 24 year career at AT&T in purchasing and supply chain management. Upon retiring from AT&T, James helped shape and serve as a role model to young people, black males in particular. James, an avid non-fiction reader, was deeply concerned about issues of social justice, equity, and opportunity, and committed the rest of his life to service and ministry. He also imparted his interest in art, music and sports to his children with his particular love for jazz, painting, and tennis.

Upon relocating to Atlanta, he became a teacher, affiliated with the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, and married Dorothy Mae Sizemore. In 1996, James joined Delta Airlines in Group Sales, found a new calling, and remained at Delta until his passing. His spiritual evolution transformed his later life by increasing his devotion to bible study, stewardship, evangelizing, and prayer. He answered the call of a prayer intercessor and had a deep personal relationship with God. James was a faithful member of New Birth?s Levite Prayer Ministry. Virtually everyone that met him was changed by an encounter with him. He actively engaged his life as living testimony to the transformational nature of his Christian walk. His ministry and agape love will be sincerely missed. As a devoted believer with an unwavering faith, he fully accepted and embraced the belief that ?to be absent from the body is to be present with Lord.?

James was a loving father and brother survived by his three adult children Kimberly (Washington, DC), Odetta (Greensboro, NC), and James (Orlando, FL). He also has three sisters, Deloris Miller, Barbara Ann Gantt, Evelyn Franklin ( Pittsburg, PA) and his brothers Ronald Bassett (Atlanta, GA) and Andre' Bassett (Washington, DC). His is also survived by a host of nieces and nephews and his loving New Birth family.

Celebration of Life Services will be held at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, 6400 Woodrow Rd Lithonia Ga 30058 on Friday November 2, 2018 at 11:00 AM.

Harrison Stebbins

In the death of Harrison Stebbins, late of Porter, Rock county has lost one of her most esteemed citizens. A Vermonter, born at Westfield, Orleans
county, June 8, 1820; educated at Norwich University, he removed in 1841 to
Janesville, Wisconsin Territory, with his young and amiable wife, formerly Miss Mary A. Bassett, of Montpelier, where they resided for nearly three years. Mr. Stebbins engaged in teaching and surveying. In 1844 they removed to Porter, upon the farm where the widow and only son still reside. The Stebbins home was ever a pleasant resort for friends or strangers, the genial host and hostess being equal to any social occasion. Mr. Stebbins besides attending carefully to his profession as farmer, was frequently called to fill town and county offices, and always with credit to himself and the satisfaction of the public. He had also represented his assembly district in the Legislature of the State with marked ability.

He was an honest and honorable man, a kind and thoughtful neighbor,
an intelligent and public spirited citizen, with a mind and heart for any
true reform movement. Religiously, he was in sympathy with the Universalist
Church. He will be greatly missed by the entire community, and more especially by the bereaved family, the members of which are one son S. P. Stebbins, and two daughters, Mrs. M. Savage, of Cooksville, and Mrs. H. Wood, of Stebbinsville. Mr. Stebbins died Sept. 7th 1882, and the funeral services were conducted on the 8th by Rev. G. W. Lawrence, of Janesville.

Paul Morris Schrader, age 80, a long time Lake George area resident, peacefully passed from this life to eternal life on Sunday, March 7, 2021 with his loving wife, Beverly at his side caressing his hand.
Paul grew up in Walnut, Illinois where he attended grade school. His family later moved to Lyndon, Illinois where he attended high school. As a young man, Paul worked for a local farmer before entering the United States Navy on January 29, 1958, where he served as a Machinist Mate/Fireman aboard the USS Dashiell DD 659. Upon receiving his honorable discharge in 1960, he returned home to Illinois where he worked in building construction. On June 12, 1960, Paul was united in marriage to the love of his life, Beverly Sue Bass in rural Lyndon. They were blessed with five children: John, James, Paula, Jason, and Joshua. Paul began working for the Northwestern Steel and Wire Company for several years. In 1967, they moved with their children to Centralia, Missouri where Paul gained employment with an electrical component manufacturer working as a drill press operator and welder. In 1970, they returned to Lyndon where he returned to his previous employment at the steel mill. In 1977, Paul and Bev vacationed with their children in the Park Rapids area and enjoyed the area and its people so much they decided to move there. Paul again returned to working in building construction and remodeling. He was proud to have completed his GED in 1980, since he had not graduated from high school because of his desire to serve his country. Furthermore, in 1985, Paul went back to vocational school and became a professionally licensed semi-truck driver. He began his trucking career with Q Carriers in Savage, MN. Later, he and his oldest son, John and friend, Larry Johnson began a custom woodworking shop in Northfield, MN which they called, Dayspring Creations. Later he heard the open road calling and resumed his career with Anderson Trucking Service of St. Cloud, MN in 1997. He purchased his own truck in 1997 and became an owner/operator leased to ATS. He drove over the road until his retirement in 2006.
Paul was a faithful and active member of Faith Baptist Church in Park Rapids, which is now known as Faithbridge Church. Paul loved the Lord and devoted his life to serving Jesus Christ. He had a poet?s heart and enjoyed writing poetry. Over 45 of his poems are part of the Faithbridge Library collection and speak of Christ?s love, forgiveness, and redemption. He loved to read, and study God?s word daily and enjoyed reading Christian action fiction. Throughout his life, Paul loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, and gardening. He was a gifted storyteller and loved to share his adventures of driving flatbed semi-trailers across the Atlantic Ocean beaches delivering building materials for ocean front construction projects or his treks on high mountain roads with sheer cliffs that were not engineered for 18 wheelers.
Paul is lovingly remembered by his precious wife and soulmate, Beverly Sue; his five children: John (Patricia) Schrader of Lake George, James (Toshia) Schrader of Perry, Iowa, Paula (Greg) Hovey of Phenix
City, Alabama, Jason Schrader, and Joshua Schrader both of Lake George; two sisters: Christine (Randy) Spotts of Rock Falls, Illinois, and Mary Alice Osborn of Georgia; as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends.
