MORTON BASS Obituary

BASS--Morton M. The staff and trustees of the North Shore-LIJ Health System are greatly saddened by the death of Trustee Morton M. Bass, beloved husband of Life Trustee Sandra Atlas Bass. Together with his wife, Mort continued a rich tradition of personal philanthropy in support of the health system and North Shore University Hospital (NSUH). His outstanding generosity, which enabled NSUH to become a leading healthcare institution, is a testament to his belief in investing in the health of the community, including such clinical areas as endocrinology. Mort's dedication, commitment and service on the board of trustees has contributed to North Shore-LIJ's growth and advancements in patient care. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Sandy and children Bruce Ornstein, R. Scott Ornstein and Kathy Jackson. Michael J. Dowling, President & CEO Richard D. Goldstein, Chairman North Shore- LIJ Health System

Dear Sandy, Bruce, Scott and Kathy,

My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. Mort in many ways was like a surrogate father to me. My dad has been gone twenty one years now and was just about the same age as Mort. I think they would have enjoyed each other as I did and do in memory often and very fondly.

I will long remember with a smile Mort's sharp wit, intense desire for fairness and the truth, his love of the New York Giants, and his amazingly dark full head of hair! Our many many long conversations will be cherished memories for the rest of my life.

I know he loved you all very much and that he is at peace now and would like you all to smile.

Fondest Regards,
Bob Davis
