On the morning of November 24, 2022, Donald H. "Don" Bass of Hebron, passed away peacefully at the age of 79.
Don was born to Victor and Lorraine (Hildebrandt) Bass on October 24, 1943, graduating from Palatine High School in 1962.
On August 1, 1964, Don married his best friend and love of his life, Sandra Kryza, and together raised three children.
Don and Sandy successfully opened and ran their own gravel pit for 15 years. In addition, they started a trucking business in 1968, which is still in operation today, 54 years later. They retired together in 2005.
Don was a hardworking, self-made man, and a man of his word. His deals were made on a handshake alone.
He loved spending summers with family and friends on their pontoon boat and in the winter, he could be found in one of his workshops, using his talents to create any number of things.
Don and Sandy were famous for hosting Shuffleboard Tournaments in their home which Don playfully coined "ShuffleNuts". He and Sandy were "sharks" and usually ended up winning these tournaments!
He is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Sandy, daughter, Debbie (Phil Williams), sons Randy and Brian, grandchildren Brandon, Kaitlyn, Alexandra, Dylan, Dustin, and Mitchell, and six great-grandchildren.
Don is preceded in death by his granddaughter, Breana Smith Bass.

The family has requested that remembrances be made in the form of contributions to Home of the Sparrow (McHenry, IL) in the name of Donald Bass.
