Sorry we lost our last surviving member of Howard and Edith’s family. The memories he left for us to cherish are unique and very precious. He was an amazing man and was the central figure of many stories, many that will bring smiles to those of us left behind for many years to come. Thanks Uncle Basil for leaving us so much. Love and hugs to each of you cousins.

My condolences to the family and friends of uncle Basil. I’ll always remember his humor and his trickster personality he got from his father. Remembering the happy times will bring comfort.

My sincere condolences. There were many & I mean many conversations in our house of Uncle Basil from skinning wire with a knife to jumping in a cold lake on a fishing trip. David certainly love him. When Basil would come “home ” there was always a visit on our veranda with the two sharing stories with a drink of rye & ginger.
I can only hope they have met up again.

Like others I have so many great memories of Uncle Basil’s visits to Nova Scotia and also a few visits we made to Toronto. We all appreciated his enjoyment of life and great sense of fun. Mom would always have seafood when he visited and I remember that he loved her lobster chowder. Sincere sympathy from my husband Brian and myself to cousins Linda, Steve, Howard, and Carol and their families and to all who miss him. Sandra (one of Annie & Chester’s daughters)

My sincere condolences to all of Uncle Basil’s family. Though visits were not frequent enough, he always made me chuckle or laugh. Whether he was helping me buy my first car or rewiring my house, he was always willing to help family. His stories were always entertaining and his hugs comforting.
Rest in peace. Love Carol.

We didn’t get to see Uncle Basil often but when we did it was fun to watch how he and mom (Margaret) would cut up and poke fun at each other. He had the best smile and could be very mischievous. He even showed up on our doorstop without warning when we had moved to Germany. Mom was so happy to see him. In later years my work allowed me to bring mom (Margaret) to see him in Toronto- quick visits but memorable. I know he will be missed by many.
Debbie Matheson
It’s been a great many years since I’ve seen any of you, but I was saddened to hear of the loss of your dad. He had a good innings though and it was certainly a life well lived. Hope you’re all well (Linda, I’d love to hear from you if you get a chance)
