Mr. Richard David Bass, 86, of 2433 Basstown Rd., went to his Heavenly Home on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at Kitty Askins Hospice Center of Goldsboro.
Funeral Services will be held Saturday, October 17, at 2:00 PM at Royal-Hall Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Charles Ray Jernigan and Dr. Ray Ammons officiating. Burial will follow in the Clinton Cemetery.
Born on June 29, 1940, in Sampson County, Richard was the son of the late Richard ?Buddy? Bass and Sudie Mae Westbrook. They instilled in him a great work ethic, to work hard, and to love the Lord. Richard spent most of his career at the North Carolina Department of Transportation where he later became the maintenance engineer until his retirement in 2002. He later went to work for Royal-Hall Funeral Home and devoted 20 years to serving and being the gentleman, he was. To have known Richard was a blessing and to have called him a friend was a privilege, he will truly be missed.
Richard is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 66 years, Edna Jenice Tew Bass of the home; two sons: Ricky Donald Bass of Clinton and Thomas Wayne Bass of Clayton; a dear family friend, Paul Daniel of Durham; two grandsons: Conner and Corey Bass; and many friends.
In addition to his parents, Richard is preceded in death by his daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Kelley Bass; and brother, Billy Bass.
The family will receive friends on Friday evening, October 16, from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM at Royal-Hall Funeral Home Chapel and other times at the home.
The family would like to thank his caregivers, Katie, Betty, Phyllis, Cindy, Frances, Glenda, the staff of Kitty Askins 3HC and Southwood Nursing Center for their loving care during this difficult time.
