Joe T. Bass
Joe T. Bass, 76, of Conway passed into a better life on Monday, January 20, 2014 at Conway Regional Medical Center. He was born Tuesday, July 20, 1937 to the late Curtis and Nora Bass of Holland, Arkansas, and is preceded in death by his wife of 48 years, Patricia Jane Bass.
He is survived by three sons, Timbo (Saundra) of Greenbrier, Tony of Enid, OK and Kevin (Judy) of Conway, sisters, Wanda Rose and Sonnye McClung of Greenbrier, seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Mr. Bass was raised on a farm in Holland Arkansas, served in the US Army and started his career as a sheet metal worker, eventually forming a successful business in Conway serving thousands of homes. But the hands-down highlight of his life on this earth was in forming a gospel singing group (the Free Spirit Singers), traveling and ministering to people while lending a rich, booming singing voice to the service of his Lord. He greatly enjoyed every Cardinals game (win or lose), frying large quantities of bacon (for later use) and never, ever ate a meal without a generous coating of salt. He had a great sense of humor and a generous heart for lost souls.
Joe Bass was regarded as an honest, respectable man to many people who will be greatly missed and admired. To his three sons to whom he reminded often that he loved dearly, he was and will always be, our hero.
Thanks Dad.
