Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 9, 2013.

After retiring from the Air Force in 1973, he worked as a Mechanic in Hyannis, MA. Never satisfied, he studied and received his Fireman's license and worked as a Power Plant Engineer at the Mass. Maritime Academy until he retired in 1981.

He enjoyed fishing in his later years with his wife Jean, and watched the Red Sox. He loved animals and had many dogs over the years.

He is survived by his wife Jean Bass, their son Richard Bass and three grandchildren; Ahleah, Ricky and Alex Bass, all of Buzzards Bay.
