Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy to Ann and family. Dr. Bass made a big impact on my life when I was in college and I credit him for believing in me and encouraging me to strive to be my best in art and life. Thank you, George, you were a legend.

George had a tremendous influence on my dad's life and held him in highest regards. He will be truly missed. My prayers are with his wife, Ann, as well as with his grieving friends.

George will always live in my memory. I dived with him on the Yasi Ada wreck for two seasons in the late sixties... He ws passionately dedicated to his work. I made a film, The Ancient Mariners, about his work at Yassi Ada.. I particularly send condolences to Ann who was such an energetic, enthusiastic and compassionate support to Dr. Bass and to us all...

I will miss my coffee buddy!! Great guy!!

My condolences to all of George´s family, friends and colleagues. His is a force of nature that will be missed. I had the pleasure of helping promote INA in its early days at A&M and he was always so cordial and helpful that it felt like working with a friend rather than a client. His legacy will be discussed for many years to come.

Professor Bass was a fine gentleman who was an example and mentor to so many. My sympathies go out to his family,

Our deepest sympathies dear Ann, Matti Garay and Don Swoyer

Le mie più sentite condoglianze alla moglie e ai figli

My deepest sympathy for your loss, Ann.
