Thomas Edward Basinger

October 24, 1953 - October 11, 2023

It is with broken hearts that the family of Tom Basinger announce his peaceful passing at Ed’s House on October 11, 2023 surrounded by his family, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Beloved and devoted husband of 48 years to Shirley (nee Bowman). Loving father of Amy Skinner (Kevin), and Kimberly Sitarski (Brandon). Adored Papa of Lauren & Everett Skinner and Alexander and Kaysen Sitarski.

Loved son of John and Bernice Basinger. Brother of Ric Basinger (Barb), Mary Bevan (Paul), Rob Basinger (Joanne). Son-in-law to Audrey Bowman, and brother-in-law to Arnold (June) Bowman, Earl (Marlene) Bowman and Gary (Nancy) Bowman. Uncle to many nieces and nephews.

Tom was a proud employee of Cameco (formerly Eldorado) for more than 30 years. He was a true outdoorsman, enjoying many hunting and fishing adventures with some of his closest friends. A true competitor, he played many years of fastball and hockey in the Cobourg area, and even got tossed from a few ball parks over the years. He always had a great joke, story, or one-liner to get a laugh. He will be sorely missed by many.

Special thanks to Dr. Kay, Dr. Mead, Dr. Mulé, and the amazing staff in the Oncology department at Northumberland Hills Hospital. To the staff and volunteers at Ed’s House, a heartfelt thank you for your care and compassion in Tom’s final days.

At Tom’s request, there will be no service. A celebration of life will be held at a date to be determined. Those wishing to make memorial donations in Tom’s honour can be made to Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice.
