So sorry. Basil/Eddie worked with Cyril on a big remodel of our home and later a flood refurbish. He was always happy, laughing and loved our dog Bear. I´d come home from work and could tell Bear had extra treats for the day. We so enjoyed him on the job. God has a great worker in heaven now.!

Marty, my condolences on the passing of your beloved husband. I think of you every time I think of the truly good people I´ve met over the years. Unless I´m mistaken we worked together in the 1970´s. You taught me how to draw blood at the doctor´s office. My heart goes out to you and your family. You are a special person and an inspiration to me. You might remember me by my former last name, Kurlander.

Marty, I'm so terribly sorry to hear of Basil's passing. Although I didn't know him personally, I knew him through one of his best friends Sammy. From what I've been told he was a wonderful, fun-loving friend and husband. Sending healing thoughts, love and prayers. Another Angel in Heaven watching over you.

Fishing with Frank Fair (my father) and Chuck Silver (taking the picture) at El Novia in the late '70's. My dad made the reloading cabinet that Chuck gave Eddie. What great times they had hunting and fishing. I'm sure Chuck and Eddie are fishing together once again.
