Dear cousin Richard. You were such a warm hearted person who loved life and lived life to the fullest. Thank you for all of your thoughts and kind gestures when my mom was going through her health issues. It is an honor to have the name Basciano.

Great memories and Prayers to our family . He was a treasure to my Dad (Uncle Eddie and Aunt Lee). There must be a big Italian dinner going on in heaven. Grandma is cooking.

You were a mentor as well as a second Father to me and I feel blessed to have been your friend. I will always remember you as well as the many memories and life lessons you shared and taught me during our 17 years of working together and over 30 years of our friendship. You made the world a better place to live in with all the goodness you expended for over 90 years. The world would be lucky to have more people like you who always treated everyone the same regardless of there religion, ethnicity , sexuality, economic class or anything else.
I Love You Richard and as you always said to me and most everyone-
GOD BLESS YOU

Dearest Brother Richard,
You were always my hero a loving and kind man. We grew up during tough times and you were always there for us.
You never passed a homeless person without giving
part of what you earned even as a paperboy making pennies
a day.
Love you and we'll meet again on the other side.

Richard & Jean were very good friends with my mom & dad Michael & Dolores Pastore. I remember growing up back in the 50's &60's
all the good times they had together. I was sad to hear of his passing. I send my condolences to Claudia, Lisa and Leslie.
