Poppy, as he is affectionally called, was born on August 9, 1938, in Walterboro South Carolina to John Henry and Nina Proctor Bass and was the older brother to Camille (Smith). Poppy was raised in Charlotte, North Carolina.
After graduating from Central High School, Poppy went into the military and proudly served as a member of the US Air Force. His dedication and commitment to the military exemplified his unwavering loyalty to his country.
After serving his country, Poppy dedicated himself to his family and advancing his education. Poppy was a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, class of 1971.
He then went on to pursue a successful career and played a pivotal role in building a thriving geotextile business, Webtec, Inc.

Poppy loved to travel and loved to lecture, to just about anyone, the importance of a continuing education. However, he loved his family the most. His favorite time of year was the 4th of July. He began a tradition over 25 years ago, to bring his family to Banner Elk, NC.
Family time was Poppy's favorite time. After each visit, you would often be left with the words. "Thank you for my family." Well Poppy, we thank you for the family you gave us all.
