Crolyn, sorry to hear about Basil. We had no idea that he was ill. I'll never forget the good times-softball, painting the interior of your house, watching football at your house, St John Baptist de La Salle, haircuts and many more. We moved to Portland, Oregon in October and enjoying our new life in the Pacific Northwest. Our condolences to you and the family. Love, Pat & Tim Morano

Affable, congenial, outgoing, sincere, polite, that was Basil Reale and more.
First met him when we moved to G.H. in '67 from Van Nuys. Could not get to him enough because there were three or four people in line, even then with the Beetle-Mania in full force, and haircuts out of style.
His shop was always busy with three Barbers.
Have been a aquainted with him ever since and during his semi-retiriment.
Our sincere sympathies to Mrs. Carolyn R., his daughter, sons and grand children.
Long live the memory of him and may the Lord give him rest - "With the saints give, O Christ, to his soul of Thy servant, where there is neither sickness, nor sorrow, nor sighing, but life everlasting".

Long Live the memory of you Dear Basil.
Sincerest sympathy
Nick Constantin.

Carolyn, So sorry to hear about Basil, we didn't know until the paper this morning,would have come to the service had we known. Through Greg and Basil, Larry got started on slow pitch softball, he is still at it.
Larry had a bad year, vertigo, 3 surgeries, and stomach problems, we are glad it is in the past. Know you have a caring, loving family to help get through this sad time. Charlotte and Larry Courtright
