Basil was such a great man. My Boy Scout leader, hunting, fishing, bull frogging companion, pinochle partner and mentor. He was my second father. He had such a tremendous influence on my life.

A truly great man and we will miss him.

My wife and daughters dearly loved Basil

Basil was a faithful member at the Southport church where I met him. He was such a loving and kind man. I remember one Christmas he gave all the ladies in the congregation some fold up scissors (I still carry mine in my purse) and the men pocket knives. He usually always had gum to share with the kids and adults too. He will be missed. Our prayers are with the family.

I wish words could take away your pain, but I know there are none that can. There is no band aide to fix your broken heart and it makes me feel helpless that I can't take away all your hurt. But know that I Love you with all my heart and you and your family are in my prayers. God has his arms around you to hold you up and if you need me just call me I'll be there. I am so sorry for you Loss. Love you much.

We attended with Basil at Southport and visited with him at his home in Boiling Springs. Malyssa always sought him out for a pack of gum on Sunday mornings. He will always have a place in our hearts. May God bless his friends and family.

It seems like no time ago I was just a little guy and Basil had me helping him around his house. I remember the late nights at my parents house with you all playing, "pinochle". I also remember
after me being grown the
talks we had over the phone. Me in AL, you in NC, but we still seemed close. It is with a
heavy heart I say, "Goodbye
old friend until we meet again." Carla, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your's... Tilman (Jr)

Carla: Just found this notice tonight. Was thinking about my dad tonight and attempted to look up Basil. I am so sorry for your loss. Even though it's been a year, I know the pain is forever. I lost daddy 11 years ago and still feel the loss. They were great friends as children as well as related. I'm sure it was a wonderful reunion in heaven.
God Bless

My wife and I hold worship services at Green Leaf each Sunday evening. I was just beginning to get to know your father when he had that fall. Prior to that he attended some services and we all appreciated his voice singing the hymns. He impressed me as a strong Christian man, and I'll miss him but trust he is in heaven.

May God bless you through this time.
