Sending love and hugs, Cathy Bregar

To his daughter Bernadette and family.
My deepest condolences.
May you find peace in the memories you've shared.

My thoughts and prayers go to all of the family in this time of sorrow. George was very sweet and loving. He will be dearly missed.

I have known Mr. Basilone for over 60 years. So many memories of him, but one of my fondest is when he took me to my first Cleveland Indians game when I was 10 years old. He patiently waited while Georgiann and I stood outside the stadium waiting to see the players and get their autographs. I thank him for making me a Tribe fan. Great husband, great father and a great man. Rest in peace Mr. Basilone.
