We regret to report that Paul M. Bass Jr. (pictured) died yesterday. He was part of the leadership group of such organizations as Southwestern Medical Foundation, Zale Lipshy University Hospital, Parkland Memorial Hospital, Phoenix Houses of Texas, Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, and numerous others.

Among his many accolades were his receiving the 2003 Linz Award, and being named the SMU Cox School of Business Distinguished Alumni in 2008 and SMU’s Distinguished Alumnus in 2006.

Aside from these good deeds, he was also known for his great stories and his sense of humor. This past October he moderated a panel made up of Elaine Agather, Linda Custard, and Tincy Miller for the “Expanding Worlds Through Giving” luncheon to the delight of all.

I worked with Paul in the early 90s. He was a funny, caring man who leaves a legacy of philanthropic good works throughout the area.

A good businessman and even better person.
