sorry to hear of the passimg of a wonderfui soul. i knew gene as a musucian in springfi.eld, mass, and a joy to be with on a gig. he was gentle, mindful,and above all sharing---yes, sharing his musical talent with his fellow musician. men like him seldom cross your path of life----i feel richer because of crossing his path.

I have nothing but fond memories of Mr. Basili at the High School of Commerce. He was the BEST Vice Principal and a GREAT Principal. He was the "fun" principal. He was fair and got to know each and every one of the students. I will sadly miss him. He definitely was ONE of the BEST! My thoughts & prayers are with the Basili Family.??
