He had an impressive 27-year career with Southern Bell, retired early, and enjoyed traveling the world with Carolyn during his ?retirement? (during which he never sat still). He loved anything that moved, restoring and enjoying multiple antique and classic cars, several boats, and 2 airplanes. Many of his friends referred to him as ?MacGyver?. He earned his pilot?s license, built a cabin in the mountains, traversed the country with Carolyn in their RV, and loved his grandsons immensely. He loved helping others whenever he could.
In addition to Ashley?s parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Hugh Cecil Bass.
Ashley is survived by his wife, Carolyn; their son, Bill (wife, Lainey; sons, Web and Marshall); and sisters, Judy (husband, John; and son, Spencer), and Janet (husband, Christopher).
