He will always be a part of Sonshine Camp with the RV there for volunteers to enjoy. And he will get his wish to volunteer you. So looking forward to your visit Love and Peace in Christ, Sharon."

"So sorry for the loss of your life partner of almost 59 years. A big hug in the Lord. It was a delight to meet you folks this past year at Bibleville as I looked at your mobile home that was for sale.
I honor Don for his love and service to the Lord.....to education....and to our country. John 16:33 is a comforting promise for you. My love and prayers,"

"What a great blessing you two were at Southern Bible College And what a wonderful couple you were Don with his soft, gentle spirit, and Helen, with your vivacious, joyful spirit. Also, an example of godliness. I only wish we had kept in better contact over the years I would have LOVED hearing about your work in all the places you went. Im sorry I missed out on that. I was sooo happy to get to be with you at the SBC reunion I saw you at last, after so many years of not having seen you. Hope we can do it again, and I can hear some of your stories. The Holy Spirit and your great memories will comfort you during this sad time."

"Don was a great help to me through High School in Woodlawn, Md as he and Helen would let me ride to church with them and he would quiz me.

College, many of us are now in the ministry ourselves"

"Alma and I are saddened to learn of the death of a dear friend, colleague, committed Christian and teacher whose life and practice touched and influenced so many. We have fond memories of our times of fellowship with Don and Helen as well as the time spent in conversing over the opportunities afforded us in our common mission in the educational setting. What a great reward he will receive in his new Home. May the peace of Christ be yours, Helen."

"I have many fond memories of Dr. Bass while a student at SBC in Houston. I especially remember the Basses having me to their house and served the cinnamon toast and tea that was like heavenly nectar to a hungry college student."

"Dr. Don Bass was my singular inspiration to
pursue Graduate School beyond Southern Bible
College. His guidance and credibility paved
the way to acceptance at Sul Ross State University
in Alpine, Tx. He loved West Texas and he and
Helen shared that love with me which, in retrospect,
led to blessings which have resonated throughout
my career in education. Thank you, Don and Helen,
for making a place in your hearts and vision for me.

Will look forward to a reunion in Heaven.
Dennis Turner"

"Don was an inspiration to me as a teacher, professor but most of all, as friend His poetry inspired me, his sermons have impacted my own preaching especially about Peter, Get Out of the Boat and his voice and teaching methods were soothing and encouraging I listened to tapes he had sent to me when I was attending Sul Ross State University. His encouragement for Denny and I to go to Alpine opened up a whole new world in education to me, but made my experience with SBC more precious So jealous, Don, that you beat us stay close to those Pearly Gates we are more than ready for our transport home see you soon Love and bunches of admiration for you and Helen
"

"Will always have great memories of the two of you at Bibleville. Know that you will be in our prayers as you go through this loss. Many years of memories that you have made together will take away the sting of your loss.
