To a great friend rest in peace CHAMP! Love and prayers to you Josie and family.
The Champ was always gracious to me whenever we met. I'll always remember his smile and grace...and also the fastest reflexes I've ever experienced in a human being. Rest in peace Champ; my best to all you loved.
Dear Josie and family,
Carmen was a true gentleman and an honorable man. His picture and autograph, which he generously gave to me, hangs proudly in a restaurant in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Will always remember our times at Keenan's and how gracious he was. I'll always miss him and am grateful to count both you and Carmen as friends.

Thank you Carmen and Josie, for making my Dad a proud man who held his head high as the founder of the Carmen Basilio Boxing Club. Carmen was his hero, and Dad was honored to have him in his life. My condolences to the Basilio family.
