Bio by Everett L. Davis
Henry Bass and his wife Tressa (Davis) Bass raised two sons Henry Claude Bass and Delmer Troy Bass, and raised their nephew Everett L. Davis as their son.
Henry Bass was a watchmaker and jeweler, and as palsey began affecting his hands and the close and tedious work required in that field, he became a radio, television and electronics repair technician. He worked for LISD in the electronics repair shop and transitioned from technician to school custodian in later years before his retirement with LISD.
Henry Bass was known as a man who could repair anything anyone every brought him. He was as comfortable with automotive and mechanical as he was in electronics and he passed on his knowledge and skills to his nephew as he grew up with electronics and mechanical repairs from a small child in his uncle's shop.
Henry's brother Arthur Bass also was a radio and television repair technician and young Everett would soak up as much information as he could from them sharing ideas and comparing their work.
Henry Bass so loved his grandchildren and took great pleasure playing with them any time he could.
Henry was a of the Primitve Baptist faith and often shared his faith and beliefs with others. He was a very generous and giving man with his time and and a man who often took little or nothing at all for the things he did for others as he repaired things believed beyond repair.
He is missed by so many.
