Former State Senator and former St. Louis City Comptroller John Bass passed away yesterday. Labels: Announcements
In a message on her website, Bass' granddaughter, Kacie Starr Triplett, said Bass loved St. Louis and enjoyed being a public servant.
"He took his role very seriously, and was ALWAYS willing to share his wisdom and experience," wrote Triplett.
"My grandfather was both fair and honest. Although, I wasn’t around when he began his career in the 1970’s, so many people tell me today, how much of an impact he made on their life, and how fair and balanced he was. My heart is heavy with this great loss."
