I think of Bascom often as the years pass. He was educated, professional and thorough and too good for the job they gave him. I considered him a friend; I hope he had the same feeling for me. I admired Bascom and will remember him.

Such sad news. Bascom and I were cadets together at Prairie View where we both attended Airborne school and received commissions into US Army. Bascom was a fine officer and much better friend. God speed Bascom Durham and know you will always be a special friend who leaves behind many fond memories
Forever friend

I am so sad to learn of Bascom's passing - and worse at such a late date. My heartfelt condolences to his wife and family. He was a great co-worker at DOT and I enjoyed his kind heart & Army spirit each time I saw him. My dad will greet this man with equal spirit. Rest in peace Bascom. I thank you for your service.

My brother Bascom was a Military Officer "Extraordinaire ". Could always be counted on to give a "Salute". He was my helper three years ago when our youngest brother was ill & needed Medical Intervention. Bascom saw to Ronnie getting to and from his appointments. I'm sure Ronnie would voice the same sentiment if he could. Rest in Peace My Brother.
