”Missing You Every Day”
Dennis James BASS Death Notice – | Port Stephens Examiner
Hello Mike Bass.
I knew your father, as he came every morning to Nice Cafe for his coffee with a group of friends.
I called them the Four Musketeers.
Your father, Sam, was a true gentleman, and at times, absolutely cheeky and enjoyed speaking to me in “Double Entendre. He was a character, on it’s own.
When I heard of his passing, I was devasted, as I lost a true friend and a mentor.
Time heals everything- but for me, there will be a special place for him, during my lifetime.
He had a beautful soul.
Rest in peace, dear Sam- the Four Musketeers” will never be the same again.
