Virginian-Pilot, December 11, 1998
A MILTON BASS died December 10, 1998, in a Chesapeake hospital.
Mr. Bass was a native of New York City and a resident of Hampton Roads for most 
of his life. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Helen Feldman Bass, 
and their son Philip Bass, who was truly his ray of sunshine.
Mr. Bass was the owner of the Top Hat Restaurant in Virginia Beach during the 
50s; the Ranch House Restaurant and the Galaxy Disco, both in Newport News, 
from 1962 to 1978; and LeRoys International Restaurant in Newport News from 
1978 to 1982. After his retirement from the restaurant business, he became a 
jewelry coordinator for the Revlon Group. He retired from Revlon and assisted 
his son at O'Brian's Restaurant in Norfolk until its sale in 1998.
He was a member of Brith Sholom Center and was a mason with the Chamblee, 
Georgia Masonic Lodge. He attended Ohio State University and was an Army 
veteran of World War II, where he was a bomb disposal expert and anatomy 
instructor with its nursing department. He was a former member of the Peninsula 
Restaurant Association and was its former president and "Restaurant Man of the 
Year" for numerous years. He played an active role in the legislation that 
brought liquor by the drink into Virginia restaurants.
Survivors include his cherished wife Naomi Legum Bass, his true life partner 
and best friend, two daughters, Joan Bass Baydush and her husband, Jerry, of 
Norfolk, Robin Feldman Kyle and her husband, Rickie, of Chesapeake; two sons, 
Dr. Howard Ronald Feldman of Chesapeake, Brian Stuart Feldman and his wife, 
Terri, of Virginia Beach; and six grandchildren, Helen Baydush Kehayas, Alan 
Howard Baydush and his wife, Lori, Lexi Paige Feldman, Phillip Mason Kyle, 
Lance Eric Kayle and Phillip Michael Feldman; and a great-grandson, Alex 
Stephen Kehayas and a nephew Joseph Bass, who was like a son to him.
A graveside service will be conducted at noon Friday at B'Nai Israel Cemetery 
by Rabbi Israel Bornstein and Rabbi Lawrence A. Forman. The family will be at 
the home of Jerry and Joan Baydush, 7018 Hunters Court, Norfolk, following the 
funeral services. H. D. Oliver Funeral Apts., Norfolk,, will be handling
