Of late, he was employed by Thompson’s Gas LLC as a truck driver. His family relates that some of his happiest times were spent sitting on the porch talking with his late father, Mr. Charles E. Bass. Wayne will be remembered as an avid hunter and fisherman; he also enjoyed woodworking in his earlier years.  Mr. Bass was a member of Bethel Baptist Church in Bassfield.
