Please extend our deepest sympathy to your entire family.
Basil was a great person and a good friend. Many good memories include visiting Puerto Rico with Basil every few months, for over 15 years. Basil always worked hard to help make a difference in Puerto Rico and all of his friends on the island are saddened by his passing. They take some comfort in remembering all of the good times that were enjoyed together over the years. I will personally miss his stories and our discussions about family, Japan, Nova Scotia, the automotive industry and many other topics.... RIP my friend.

You are in my heart & in my thoughts - although Basil is in the arms of Angels, a mere heartbeat away, his loss is shared by many.
A wonderful man; warm & caring, always willing to help - with a big, friendly smile. Madison was always happy to see him too - especially when Basil had treats!
My love & a big hug to you; Special wishes to Brian, James & Douglas.
For sure he is watching over you all. See you soon, Love Fiona.

Basil you were a very good friend and always so helpful when ever I needed some help with dog walking, questions about car,and especially installing over the stove fans. I will miss seeing your smile and wave when you drove past me walking the dogs. Rest easy

I'm very sorry to hear of Mr. Spence's passing.
I got a chance to know him a bit before moving away to Ontario. He was a thoughtful and welcoming man with an easy air about him.
Over 25 years after learning how to "clam" with a plunger from Mr. Spence, I have never used a shovel since. I always credit him with having taught me as I continue to pass this along to people every summer.

I see the name and photo in the paper today . . . And journey back a lifetime:
To Dufferin St.,Bridgewater, and our likeable neighbors scooting around that ranch-like family compound over the back fence.
Ebullient Harley, Big Doug, cars, construction stuff, Sweeney’s stables, Harley’s politics. A lot to take in for a six-year-old kid in 1946.
But mostly, I remember that brush-cut, freckle-faced boy (“Don’t call me ‘Bah-sil, it’s Bay-sil”) with the engaging smile and confident manner who lured me out one day to gawk at a giant, living sea turtle that had somehow made its way from the LaHave River clear up to Spence’s Field.
Then took me over the Lunenburg County Fairgrounds across the street, where workers were flinging free gas masks to all the kids. “Won’t need these now, boys. War’s over!”
And opened many other doors to me, a shy little guy. Doors welcoming me to a wider world of fun and adventure. Basil’s world.
Basil, my boyhood pal and hero.
Never forgotten.

Far too few have the privilege to call such a man Dad or My Friend. I was fortunate enought to call him both.
Love you forever, miss you always Dad.
Rest easy MY Friend.
