Arthur Bastian

Gail and I want to express our sympathy to the Bastian Family at this time. I also lived on Chestnut Street ext. along with Art. We were the fearsome foresom at the State Police Annual Golf event along with Bardy Flanders/NHSP and Eric Sargent Former Chief of Police. Art was a good person and human being and a good friend for over 50 years.

Gale was ALWAYS a great example for others to follow. We have been friends since grade school. We have been separated for many years by a military career and living many states apart. Our last crossing of paths was in 2022 on the Alumni parade float with Gale a "Cop" and me a "Sailor" we stood up and shared many old memories. I will always remember how fine of a man Gale was and a great example for all! May GOD bless his family and loved ones and may they know that he is watching over...

Chief Bastian, Thank you for your service RDM Windham NH

I was saddened to have learned this morning about Art´s passing. I first met him in 1973 when I became a newly assigned Trooper in Sullivan County. Our law enforcement careers stayed intertwined until our respective retirements in the mid-1990s. His love for Ursula and his children was evident, as was his love for the communities he served. We have lost contact with each other over the past few years, but I will forever remember his dry wit and infectious smile, along with his calm demeanor...

Dear Dad, I'm so grateful for all of your love, support, guidance, protection and for being a great role model of what it means to be an honorable, trusting, caring and giving person. I am especially grateful that we had these last few years to make even more special memories of our adventures together. You were my best friend and I will always keep you in my heart and share your stories with grandchildren and great grandchildren. I will take care of your woods as promised. I love you...
