Hi Donna
So sorry to hear of your loss!

My dearest Donna and family, I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Basil's passing. He was one of the big reasons I enjoyed working my last few years before retiring. The amazing stories and events he shared with us were the highlights on many days. I have many fond memories of him from the numerous bags of oysters he brought in to share with us to he and Paul arguing who would scoot under the desk when we were actually having our mini earthquake. The many office lunches and home gatherings where he entertained us all with stories and personal experiences that kept us wanting more.
Please accept my deepest and sincerest sympathy. I know, right now, your hearts are broken but the wonderful memories will always keep him close to you and in your heart. R I P Basil. We all will miss you dearly. Sent from the heart with loving thoughts. .. Marie Davis xoxo
