December 3, 1951 ~ May 7, 2019
Bob Basile passed away on May 7, 2019 at 10:15 P.M., after a long battle with cancer. He was 67. The Basile family first lived on Sparks St. in Burbank, then about 1965 moved to 821 E. Angeleno, and Bob attended 8th and 9th grade at John Muir. He went all the way through BHS and graduated with the 1970 Class. (Bob doesn't have a senior picture in the 1970 Ceralbus, so the photo shown is his junior picture - sorry a bit blurry due to small size of original photos.)
After high school Bob was in the U.S. Air Force. He then attended Cal State Fullerton and received a B.A. degree in Accounting. He had lived many years in Carlsbad in San Diego County. He was a commercial airline pilot for Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Air, and had been a corporate pilot for a Newport Beach company. He was also a flight instructor, and had also been a partner in a flight charter business in Carlsbad, Basile Aviation, and had co-owned a Cessna 310 plane.
Bob was never married and had no children. Bob was one of 7 children in the Basile family. Only he and sister, Sue Basile attended BHS, (Class of '64), as the family moved to Costa Mesa in 1972. Of the 7 siblings there are now only three surviving, Sue, younger brother, Jim Basile (four years younger than Bob), and one other younger brother.
