cheryl Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Rest in Peace Buddy Alan Basinet, 1964-2012. Buddy passed away at 8:30 this morning, March 15, with his parents and with me at his side. As per his wishes there will be no funeral, service or burial...Alan donated his body for scientific research...his parents will receive his ashes in a few months. Please remember him with a donation to Community Hospice, 4266 Sunbeam Road, Jacksonville, Florida 32257, communityhospice.com. I will continue to stay in touch.

m!b$ Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 It's all so very sad...and so mysterious. In the last email I got from him, Alan said that he tends to "roll with the punches". That's good advice to remember, because life sure throws alot of them. (Alan sure knew how to pick a good wife!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisCamp Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'm at a loss for words and have been since I heard about Alan's health. The marble community lost a leader, the likes of which will not be seen again. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popculturizm Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Sorry to hear about everyone's loss, although I did not know Alan I did always appreciate his ability and clarity in capturing great detail in his marble images - We all should remember how fragile life is and do good things with the time we have, Our Condolences to his Family and Friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinx Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 RIP Alan. A sad day indeed. Bless you Cheryl, and your husband, for the care you've given. None of this was easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackiedee Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 My thoughts and prayers go out to Alan's family and friends. the loss of a wonderful son and friend. Alan meant so much to the marble community. . a person we all will never forget.. but I want to also emphasize what a wonderful lover of animals Alan was. He would never turn out a stray cat or any animal.. making sure if they were injured they would receive help.. a true giver..in all ways.He would be so upset when one of them passed away.. It will be difficult not to see marbles for sale by Alan. we always knew we would be getting the best.. But we can celebrate his life and remember the many times he would make us laugh at his opinions ( political or otherwise) and he was usually right.. It was my great pleasure to know and meet such a person as Alan and I will always cherish the friendship that we had. Enjoy the next life, Alan. it should be super..

stacyw Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Cheryl, Is there any way for someone to make a donation that would help Alan's beloved pets? God Bless you and your husband for all you have done. I never met Alan, but anyone who could inspire so much love amongst so may people must have been very special indeed. Rest in Peace.
