Perry Richardson Bass, the nephew of Texas oilman Sid W. Richardson, was born in 1914 in Wichita Falls, Texas, and married Nancy Lee, a Fort Worth native, in 1941. The couple had four sons, Sid Richardson Bass, Edward Perry Bass, Robert Muse Bass and Lee Marshall Bass, who together have provided leadership and philanthropy to organizations around the country, among them the redevelopment of downtown Fort Worth, which is recognized today as one of the most "livable downtowns in the country." The cornerstone of the city center, the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall, which opened in 1998, was one of the leading projects in that revitalization. Mr. Bass died in 2006 and Mrs. Bass in 2013.
