Charles Bass Obituary
On Thursday, March 9th Charles "Charlie" Raymond Bass (83), a good and faithful servant, went home to be with the King.
A proud US Army veteran, and husband of 61 years to Bettie Marie Bass (Greer), Charlie was a lover of many things in his life. He loved his children and grandchildren: Donita McCormick (Summer and Alex), Randy Bass (Justin, Audra and Kayla), Chris Bass (Isaiah and Ethan) and Eva Bishop (Colton and Campden); his great-grandchildren: Casey Marie, Burton, Abagail, and Garrett, and his daughters and sons-in-law: Jeff, Lorrie, Kathy, Kishon, and Matt.
Charlie will forever be known for his love of his brothers and sisters, many nieces and nephews, an abundance of friends (he never met a stranger), the Andy Griffith show, fishing, gravy and biscuits, basketball, and most of all, the Georgia Bulldogs (Go Dawgs!).
Funeral services will be Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 6:00 pm at Lord and Stephens, East. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 4:00 until 6:00 pm at the funeral home. Private graveside services will be held at Georgia National Cemetery in Canton.
Lord and Stephens, East is in charge of arrangements. www.lordandstephens.com

Still in my memory Charles, our Daytona trip after high school with Harold and Henry. Always enjoy the few times we were together. R.I.P. MY FRIEND.

Charlie and I were high school classmates and football teammates and proud veterans. After retirement, we were in contact weekly during football season and attended Dawgs and Vols games together. He was so happy with their success. His death was so sudden and without warning; I will miss him dearly. Our last text was about our grandkids. God Bless you Betty and all your children and grandkids. Charlie, we will see you soon. Lance
