Popeye was a resident of Sanford at the time of passing but he and Shirley were preparing for their annual winter trip to Florida along with their little pride and joy dog Bella. Leroy retired after a 35 year career from the Carpenters Union Local #706. He was a member of the Sanford American Legion 443 and proudly served in the United States Army. Leroy enjoyed playing cards with family and friends, visiting with the neighbors and cherished spending time with his children and grandchildren. He loved tinkering in the garage and working on his all-time goal of trying to keep the squirrels out of his bird feeders. He is survived by children, Michael L. Bass, Jennifer Bass, Cinde Novak, Maureen (Daniel) Leonard, Iris Jolls, Peggy Chapman, Jill Yancer, Sherry (Roy) Clements, Terry Hubbard, Kathy (Craig) Hawkins, and Scott (Alyx) Wiltse, many loving grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He is also survived by brothers: Norris ('Mickey') Bass, David (Sue) Bass, Douglas (Vivian) Bass, and sisters: Evelyn Bass, Beryl McClain, Winona Kenyon and Wanda (Mike) Wilson. He was preceded in death by one daughter Eileen (George) Ingraham; brothers, Jim Bass and Lloyd 'Ray' Bass. Funeral services to celebrate Leroy and Shirley will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, September 22, 2018 from the Ware Smith Woolever Funeral Chapel, 1200 West Wheeler Street.
