My deepest sympathy. Mr. Bascom was a gentleman in every best sense of the word. He was kind, soft-spoken, self-effacing, generous and strong without being overbearing. He touched many, many young lives over his years of service at Proctor High School. We all are better people because of it.
His was a life of service, well lived. You can be proud.

Dear Carol, Leslie, Anne, and Harry,
I was pleased to be able to attend the memorial service for your dad today and am sorry that I was not there to hear your tributes to him. I am sure they were touching, heartfelt, and probably funny, too. What I remember about Mr. Bascom is that he was smart, funny and fair and that he loved his wife and children dearly. His wit and wisdom will surely be missed. He and your mom are now together as they were in life. I hope you will take...

I taught Biology at Proctor High in the room next to Harry Bascom from 1959 to 1964. He was a fine teacher, always a gentleman, and very helpful to a brand-new teacher. My sympathies to his family.

Harry will be missed on the lake. I recall he being the first to enter the water in the early spring. He and Marie were such good person. Fond memories are what they've left all of us with.

Mr. Harry Bascom was my chemistry teacher and a real gentleman. His brother, Robert, was my high school counselor at Proctor back in the 50's.
