My mom thought Mr Basile was a saint if only for the reason that he would always wait for my sisters when they were late to catch the bus...which apparently was pretty much on the daily. My mom is in assisted living and not always 'all there' but when I mentioned Mr. Basile had passed she said, 'He was a really good guy.' and then went into the whole bus memory again. Mrs. Lyons said something about always being able to trust her cars with Mr. Basile and how much that meant to her family.
