Fred Basile wrote a sympathy message

“For the past 25 years, we were blessed to live next to a truly remarkable man. Bob was a constant presence in our lives. Bob was kind, gentle, talented and filled with great wisdom. Bob watched our three sons grow up and was always ready with a friendly wave, a thoughtful word, or a story from his incredible life. His kindness wasn’t loud, but it was steady and genuine. Whether it was a small gesture or a helping hand, he gave without asking for anything in return. Celeste Fred Basile”
