Ray Spurgeon Bass III
September 30, 1943 ? March 29, 2017
Ray Spurgeon Bass III was born in Decatur, Illinois on September 30, 1943. He was the son of Ray S. Bass Jr. and Phyllis Orey Bass. Known as Skip, he was raised in Decatur and graduated from MacArthur High School. He entered the Air Force and attended college at Boise State in Idaho. In 1968, he met and married Cris Hashu. They were married for nearly 49 years. His career led him many places. At one point, he operated his own stereo business, ?The House of Sound,? in Decatur, where he discovered his passion for management. He loved construction and creating a business from the ground up (literally). He worked for various construction firms and eventually owned and operated his own firm, R.S. Bass and Company, from which he retired in 2012. He was an active member of Tempe First United Methodist Church for 35 years. He is preceded in death by his parents and his first born daughter, Stacy. He leaves behind his wife, Cris, children Angela and Eric (Ashley Wilson), three grandchildren, Addison, Jackson and Brendan, and his companion dog, Dockett. Suffering quietly, he has now been set free from his pain. Glory be to God! Memorial gifts may be made to Tempe First United Methodist?s Urban Ministries program.
