Donald F. Bassett - Escondido/Carlsbad - Donald F. Bassett, a longtime resident of Escondido, died on Monday,, April 16, 2012 in Carlsbad, California. His wife of 62 years, Betty Howell Bassett, preceded his passing in 2008. Born in Skidmore, Missouri on May 17th, 1923, Don came to California at 19 as a Marine Air Corps pilot. He spent a productive military career as a test pilot in San Diego during World War II and later as a transport pilot in the South Pacific and China. After the war, Don and Betty started a retail business that would blossom from selling socks and women's hosiery out of the trunk of their car, to an award winning group of young women's clothing stores called Valdon's. Later, he opened a chain of stores called The Pantry, one of the first in the country to specalize in selling just jeans. In retirement, Don and Betty lived in Solana Beach, Rancho Bernardo and Carlsbad. Their time was spent being close to their family or traveling far - visiting over forty countries, making lasting friendships everywhere they went. Don s survived by his two sons, Frank of San Clemente and Steve of Cornwall, New York, and their wives, Merrie and Anne; and five grandchildren, Cyril, Cameron, Samuel, Tyler and Emma. A graveside service is planned at 1 p.m. on Monday, April 23, at Oak Hill Memorial Park in Escondido. In lieu of flowers, please donate to San Diego Hospice at www.sdhospice.org.
