Two Killed in Union County; one arrested
August 22, 2012

MARSHVILLE, N.C. ? Two men were killed and a third is arrested after a shooting Tuesday night in Union County.

Bradrick Layne Wolfe, 47, of Marshville, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, said Sheriff Eddie Cathey.

Cathey said deputies were called to a home near Marshville and found two men shot to death in the driveway.

The victims have been identified as Wolfe?s father-in-law, David Lee Bass, and the suspect?s brother-in-law, David Clay Bass.

A North Carolina Highway Patrol trooper spotted the suspect?s motorcycle a short time later in Anson County and began chasing him.

Cathey says several other people were at the home and saw the shooting. He says the shooting apparently resulted from an argument.

It was not clear if Wolfe has an attorney.

Gorsulowsky Funeral Home
Samuel David Bass
November 19, 1943 ? March 29, 2024

Heaven welcomed another legend into the presence of Jesus. Samuel David Bass passed from this life on Good Friday, March 29, 2024 with a host of family members around his bedside at home. David was diagnosed with Parkinson?s Disease about five years ago and prostate cancer about 3 years ago. He ?fought a good fight, ran a good race, and ended well?.
His Homegoing Celebration will be held at Gorsulowsky Funeral Home in Vivian, Louisiana. Family visitation is from 9:30-10:00 A.M. The community visitation is from 10:00 to 11:00 A.M. The funeral service is at 11:00 A.M. Graveside service will be held at Vivian Cemetery.
Eddie Briery, senior pastor at City Church of Shreveport, Louisiana will deliver the eulogy. David and Linda are members of City Church.
David was born in Glenmora, Louisiana on November 19, 1943 to wonderful, Godly parents. His father, James Edward ?Pa? Bass, was born in Calcasieu, Louisiana. His mother, Annie Ruth Quarles, was born in Zwolle, Louisiana. David had four siblings: James Edward Bass, Jr., Penny Ruth Bass Viscardis, Robert Earl Bass, and Tommy Suzette Bass Briery. Pa worked in construction most of his life, and he took his family with him on most jobs. This gave the children the opportunity to meet many new friends and to learn to adapt to whatever life came their way.
Football was a huge part of David?s life. He played football at Fair Park High School, and was awarded a full scholarship to Louisiana Polytechnic Institute (now Louisiana Tech University) where he was an All-American nose guard. He loved his teammates.
During his precious life filled with God, love, laughter, dedication, and edifying others, David was a Haughton teacher and girl?s basketball coach, Thiokol Chemical Company Human Resources Director, manager of a copy machine business, Citizens Bank Loan Officer, truck driver, football coach, and owner of Bass Driving School, LLC.
David met Linda, the love of his life and best friend of 48 years, at his sister (Suzie?s) wedding. They lived in Vivian, Louisiana for about 20 years. They loved attending First Baptist Church and going on trips with their Sunday School class members. Friends like Jerry Coon, A. C. Powell, Leonard Briery, and Curtis Viscardis made these times so special. Three children, Cary Dean Tarver, Kristen Ruth Bass, and Emily Renee? Bass were the loves of their lives. They enjoyed traveling, camping, and supporting their children in all of their endeavors.
Then, football began to be a part of David?s life all over again. Linda took a teaching position at Evangel Christian Academy (ECA) and Kristen and Emily attended school there. It wasn?t long before David was a stand-out offensive line football coach with a drawer full of Louisiana LHSAA Football State Championship rings and one national championship. There was a band of brothers like no other with that group of coaches. Football icons Denny Duron, Dennis Dunn, Ronnie Alexander, John Bachman, Chris Tilley, Rick Berlin, Byron Copeland, Romy Cucjen and Johnny Booty were his best friends. He also loved and served the ECA administrators, teachers, and staff with all of his heart. Some of his best friends during this time were Scott Jones, Clint Hortman, Royce Coggins, Del Sowders, Rod Chandler, and Mel Campbell.
A new chapter of his life began after Evangel. He became the owner and operator of Bass Driving School, LLC. Just like every other phase of his life, this was a success story filled with people who loved him because of the way he treated them and made them feel so special.
David leaves a host of family members and friends who will miss his sweet smile, warm laugh, Godly counsel, and thoughtful ways. Linda, his wife of 48 years, is blessed to have a lifetime of good times and memories with her sweet husband. His children include Cary Tarver (Ashley Tarver, wife), their two sons Van Taylor Tarver III, Zachary Lee Tarver (Taylor, wife). His daughter, Kristen Ruth Bass, PA-C, who has taken pristine medical care of him for many years. And, this baby girl, Emily Renee? Bass Nycum (Brent, husband), and their two daughters Ember Ruth and Josie Brooks Nycum have been a blessing to his life. There are no words to express how much we love him and will miss him. But, we know he is in heaven walking on streets of gold and having a fabulous time with his family and friends who went on before him.
David?s family is very close, and they love to celebrate life. His siblings James, Penny, Robert, and Suzie have been blessed with children who are products of their loving, Godly environment. Nieces and nephews include: James ?Tee Dee? Bass (Lisa, wife), Rhonda Bass, Christina Davis (Andy, husband), Chantell Pettingell (Tim, husband), Amy Hook (Daniel, husband), Tammy Graham (Randy, husband), Chris Viscardis (Cindy wife), Craig Viscardis (Robin, wife), Shelli Murphy (J.T., husband), and Eddie Briery. Because of his sweet ways, David was probably the favorite of many of his nieces, nephews, and cousins. There are so many cousins, great nieces, and great nephews that David loved.
Honoring David as pallbearers will be Cary Dean Tarver, Van Taylor Tarver III, Zachary Lee Tarver, Craig Viscardis, Brent Nycum, and Dennis Dunn. Honorary pallbearers are Ronnie Alexander, Clint Hortman, Curtis Viscardis, Chester Hart, and Scott Jones.
Samuel David Bass has lived a long, rewarding, and impacting life as a husband, father, son, uncle, cousin, friend, coach, and neighbor. We will miss you so much, but look forward to seeing you in heaven one day.
The family would like to sincerely thank Dr. ?Bob? Massingil and the nurses and staff at Christus Cancer Center. There are no words to express our gratitude to the Christus Home Hospice nurses, CNAs, and staff. You did a fabulous job!
 
Bass, Samuel David (I6051)

Havre - "The Cowboy Rides Away"

David Eugene Bessette was born to Clyde and Marion (Malsam) Bessette on December 27, 1943 in Havre, Montana, and died from cancer on October 15, 2020, peacefully at home. After graduating from Havre High School in 1962, David joined the National Guard. Then, while working for Hill County, David began acquiring more and more farmland north of Havre until the farm became a full-time job. David served on the Federal Land Bank and during his time as Chairman of the bank board, he would often travel to Minneapolis and Spokane for business. David also served on the Havre High School Booster Club for many years. In 1963, David married Kathy Schafer and had two children: Randy and Nikki. They later divorced and David left the farm to his son.

After moving into town, David worked for the City of Havre and also hauled cows for Shrauger Farms, which is something that he really loved doing. In 1992, David married Susie and was welcomed with love by her three grown children: Cub, Mandi, and Tobey. When David retired from the City of Havre, he went to work for Patrick Construction, where he loved the comradery of the staff and crew, driving 'his' truck, and mentored many of the younger employees. David loved working outside while at home, doing chores and tending to the animals, but come 3:00, he would head to town to 'have a cup' with his coffee club.

David was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Wade. He is now reunited with his best friends LeRoy and Herbie as well as some of the best bull haulers in the business.

David is survived by his beloved wife Susie and his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and his faithful dog Cowboy.

A memorial will be held at a later date and donations to the Havre High School Booster Club and/or Montana State University Northern Rodeo Club as well as condolences can be sent to PO Box 925, Havre, Montana, 59501. Please visit David's online memorial page at www.hollandbonine.com to leave a message of condolence for his family.

In Memory of Virginia Bassett Uzzell
September 25, 1918 ? March 15, 2016

Virginia Mae Bassett Uzzell, affectionately called Ginny, and Mawmaw, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 15, 2016 at the Greensboro home of her daughter and son-in-law at the age of 97.

Virginia was born on September 25, 1918 in Paducah, Kentucky to Etta Dalton and Thomas Stamp Bassett. As a young child they moved to Charlotte, NC where she grew up. She graduated from Charlotte Central High School and Queens College Business School. Virginia lost her first husband, Julius McRoy Sealy, Jr. in World War II. During the 1940's she worked as secretary to the treasurer at Queens College and as a secretary at Southern Bell. Ginny met Harold Wright Uzzell, who nicknamed her Ginny and swept her off her feet, and they married in 1951.

Ginny relished being a homemaker and a beloved wife and mother as her husband's career moved them to Columbia, SC, where their son Wright was born; Greenville, NC, where their daughter Lisa was born; then on to Richmond, Atlanta, Detroit, and finally back to Charlotte, where they lived for 40 years. She made dear friends everywhere she went, and found churches and fellowships and Bible studies to be a part of in every city. In Charlotte, she found her church home at St. Giles Presbyterian, where she enjoyed deep joy in worshipping her Lord, studying, serving and loving people.

The love and joy of her life was her family. She cherished her children and grandchildren and wanted to have us all together all the time. She created beautiful and delicious meals effortlessly and tirelessly. Holidays at Mawmaw's house were full of love, food and beauty. The memories that were made there will be cherished as long as we live.

Ginny moved with Hal to Greensboro in 2008 to live with her daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Buster Lewis. In those last years she amazed her family with her love, kindness, thankfulness, and unfailing optimism. Every day was a beautiful day and every meal was delicious.

The most outstanding features of her life and personality were her unflagging faith and her determination to see the good in every person and every situation. She never, ever said an unkind thing about anyone. Even to the very last days of her life, when her body was failing, she said, "It's a beautiful day." Her last words were "thank you". She encouraged us to always be thankful and joyful.

Those who have gone before her are her parents, Etta and Stamp Bassett; her sister, Vivian Bassett Gettys; her brothers, Tommy, James and William Bassett; her beloved husband, Hal Uzzell; and her grandson, Jeremy Black.

Left behind to cherish her in their memories are her children, Wright and Sylvia Uzzell, and Lisa and Buster Lewis; her grandchildren, Aaron Uzzell, Lauren Black, Josh Harris, Chelsea Lewis, Audrey Lewis and Travis Willse; and her brother-in-law, Gerald Uzzell. Also left behind are many loving nieces and nephews, cousins and beloved friends, and Anne Dolan, who has faithfully loved and helped care for her the past five years.

Ginny's family would like to thank Dr. Nevill Gates, MD, who has lovingly cared for her, making countless home visits at all hours, given advice and been the best friend in the world. Nevill also cared for Hal in the last year of his life. Nevill Gates helped Hal and Ginny live out their days in their daughter's home, with fires in the fireplace, chickens in the back yard and family all around.

The family will receive friends at a visitation at Harry & Bryant Funeral Home in Charlotte on Friday, March 18, from 5:00-7:00 pm. There will be a graveside service Saturday at 2:00 pm at Elmwood Cemetery in Charlotte, followed by a celebration of her life at St. Giles Presbyterian Church at 3:00 pm.

Memorials in Ginny's honor may be given to St. Giles Presbyterian Church, 2027 Emerywood Drive, Charlotte, NC 28210 or www.stgilesepc.org.

his brother, James Gates. Later these two branched out into the grocery business, their partnership continuing until the elder brother enlisted for service in the Civil war. William Gates then bought a store on South Jefferson street, and conducted it for some years, until he sold it in order to devote all his attention to his extensive granary. Dur-

Langley Funeral Home ? Camp Hill, 1 July 2024
James Howard Bass

Funeral Service for Elder James Howard "Jim" Bass, 84, of Auburn, will be Tuesday, July 2, 2024 at 12:00 pm at the Chapel of Langley Funeral Home. Elder Mark Haynes and Elder John Wingard will officiate. Burial will follow in the Tallapoosa County Memory Gardens. The family will receive friends on Tuesday, July 2, 2024 from 10:30 am to 11:30 am at Langley Funeral Home.
Jim passed away peacefully on June 29, 2024, at Arbor Lake Health & Rehab in Auburn. Born on May 6, 1940, in Elmore County, to Curtis Warren Bass and Cordelia Henderson Bass, Jim's early years were marked by a profound sense of duty and service, which would define the course of his honorable life.
Jim's dedication to his country was evident through his service in the United States Army. His continuing commitment to serve led him to a career with the Montgomery Police Department, followed by a distinguished tenure with the Alabama State Troopers, where he served until his retirement in 1988. Jim's passion for service did not wane with retirement, as he soon heeded a higher calling into the ministry, touching countless lives as an Elder at Bethel Primitive Baptist Church and pastoring at several churches within the denomination.
Jim found contentment in the simple pleasures of daily life post-retirement. He loved his family and there was nothing more important than bringing the family together to celebrate. He was a masterful gardener and enjoyed spending hours with his wife, Betty, tending to their flowers and vegetables. He was self-reliant, if something needed to be built or fixed, he would tackle it.
Jim will be remembered as a loving and faith-filled man. He adored his wife, Betty, loved his children, and took pride in his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was a man who quietly placed others before himself, embodying the virtues of kindness, generosity, and humility. His legacy lives on in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him, and in the many lives he enriched through his commitment to faith and community. Jim's presence will be deeply missed, yet his spirit will continue to guide and inspire us all.
He is survived by his children, Kim (Rick) Vest, Rev. Tim (Somer) Bass, Brad (Amy) Bass, and Celeste (Dodd) Starbird; grandchildren, Justin (Audrey) Vest, Caitlin Vest (Austin) Burns, Joshua Bass, Alyssa (Zachary) Hall, Chrissie (Ryan) Steff, Trevor (Katie) Bass, Kurt (Meg) Branch, Clay (Emily) Branch, Conner (Ashley) Branch, James (Ashley) Starbird, Aspen (Mason) Starbird, Autumn Starbird, and Jade Starbird; twenty-one great grandchildren; and brother, Bennie Bass.
He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Betty Bass; sisters, Frances Clayton and Nellie Ledbetter; brothers, Billy Bass, Sam Bass, and Barney Bass.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the doctors, nurses, and staff of Arbor Lake Heath and Rehab.
Langley Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Elder James Howard Bass.

Leak Memory Chapel
Jerry W. Bass
June 11, 1954 ? August 29, 2024

Jerry Wayne Bass of Pike Road, Alabama, passed away quietly on the morning of August 29, 2024, succumbing to the cancer he fought valiantly since it was diagnosed a year ago. A memorial service will be held at Leak Memory Chapel on Sunday, September 8 at 2 PM at Leak Memorial Chapel. A brief visitation will be held with the family beginning at 1 PM.
Jerry was born on June 11, 1954 in Montgomery, Alabama. A graduate of Robert E Lee High School, Jerry entered the US Air Force and served as a medical clerk at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. After exiting the Air Force in 1976, Jerry began working with the US Postal Service and remained with that agency for the remainder of his career until he retired in 2021. Throughout the intervening time, Jerry also continued in military service with the Alabama Air National Guard, retiring with the rank of Chief Master Sargeant in 2019.
Jerry was a reserved individual who was deeply motivated by duty, responsibility, and love of family. Throughout his life, Jerry worked hard to ensure that the things and the people for which he was responsible were cared for to the best of his ability. He freely helped, gave with an open hand, and took care of those he could when others did not. He loved his children, wanted the best for them, and gave them the freedom to walk and run while being there when they fell.
Throughout his life, Jerry was keenly aware there was a world ?out there? he wanted to see. Like many, during the earliest parts of his life, he was bound by responsibility to stay close to home. Nevertheless, he wanted more ? to see more, try more, and do more. In the later part of his life, he was blessed to find Barbara Peters and, with her, he found the opportunities to travel and visit destinations he only dreamed of experiencing. Together, Jerry and Barbara made a new life, and, despite being cut down so quickly, it was good.
When they were not traveling, Jerry and Barbara lived a quiet life in their home in Pike Road. There, they tended their yard and gardens, ate good food, rough-housed with their dogs, discussed current events, and enjoyed quiet evenings in their backyard under the Alabama stars.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, James and Edna Bass. He is survived by his companion, Barbara Peters; his two children, Leslie Ogburn, with her spouse Travis, and Jason Bass; his two grandchildren, Casey and Ethan Ogburn; and his brother, Robert Bass, with his spouse Suzanne.

Legacy Remembers, 16 July 2022
Norman Clark Bassett

Norman Clark Bassett died peacefully with family by his side on July 2, 2022 at John C. Lincoln hospital in Phoenix, AZ. Norman (Norm) was born June 17, 1931 to William Glenroy Bassett and Jeannette (Neff) Bassett in Longmeadow, MA. Many people called Norman "Bubby", a nickname he earned as a small child. Norm's father died in 1938 when Norm was seven years old. His mother remarried George Campbell who helped raise Norm. Many other fathers took Norm under their wing, teaching him about boats, boating maintenance, how to run a business, and gave Norm his life-long love of sailing.

Norm attended Classical High School in Springfield, MA, graduating in 1949. He attended Brown University where he swam on the varsity team and was a member of the Class of 1953. While at Brown, he met Martha Scott, whom he married in 1953.

Norm enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1953, serving at West Point and in Germany with the 1st Infantry Division. After his service in the US Army, Norm returned to the states in 1955, working for Hayden Wayside Furniture in Enfield, CT. He became store manager, a post he held for 28 years. Norm and Martha originally lived in East Longmeadow, MA until settling in Longmeadow where they raised their five children. In 1984 he and Martha moved to their dream waterfront home in Rockport, MA, and Norm became the manager of C.F. Tompkins Furniture in Danvers, MA. Norm moored his beloved Pearson Triton sailboat, Pandora, at eastern Point Yacht Club in Gloucester Harbor. Norm and Martha spent much of their vacations sailing the North Shore and exploring the coast of Maine. Norm made friends in nearly every port, usually by taking an evening swim around the harbor and striking up conversations between strokes.

In 1990 Norm opened his own store in Danvers and named it Scott Wayside in honor of Martha. He ran the store with the same integrity that guided him throughout his furniture management career. He enjoyed the personal relationships developed while helping loyal customers design their homes. When Norm closed the store he was not ready for retirement. He took a position managing Westwood Furniture's Stickley Gallery Showroom in Middleton, MA. Later, he embarked on a management and promotional sales career with D.M Reid and also with Planned Furniture Promotions. Norm traveled the country working promotional sales where his energy, enthusiasm and humor helped him forge friendships with his coworkers, many of whom were 50-60 years his junior. Norm worked his last furniture sale in 2019 and finally retired for good at age 87.

Norm was predeceased by his wife of 46 years, Martha (Scott). He is survived by Elizabeth (Betsy) Scott Bennett (John) of Sterling, VA, William Glen Bassett (Shirley) of Lexington, MA, Katharine Tobin (Timm) of Chatham, MA, Eleanor (Ellie) Bassett of Hudson, NH, and David Scott Bassett of Glastonbury, CT. Norm also leaves nine grandchildren (Joe, Katie, Gregg, Chris, Paige, James, Nick, Charlotte and Haley) and one great grandson (Peter). Norm leaves his wife Barbara Daniel of Phoenix, AZ.

Norm founded and was the long-time scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 95 in Longmeadow, MA. His scouts and the adults who worked with him always have a "Mr. Bassett" story to fondly remember him by. He was recognized in 1980 by the Pioneer Valley Council for his contributions to scouting.

Norm's life-long passion was sailing, a skill he learned through the kindness of others who took him under their wing when he was 7 years old after his father passed away. Spending summers at Point O'Woods in Old Lyme, CT, Norm learned how to sail many different types of boats, how to restore sailboats to working order and how to run a successful business renting out boats and giving boat rides. He referred to any boat whose primary means of propulsion was a motor as a "stink pot".

A graveside service will be held in the future in the Point O'Woods cemetery in Old Lyme, CT. Cards to the family or requests for further information can be sent to 202 Markwood Drive, Sterling, VA 20165.
