Basil Economou, 82 of Davidsonville, Maryland, formerly of Connecticut went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
Born in Brewster, New York on June 20, 1941, he was the son of the late Irene (Bouclis) Economou, and Lazarus "Leo" Economou, and husband of late Maria.
Basil was known for his love of the Giants, Yankees, and anything related to Elvis. During his retirement years, he worked as a bus driver for New Fairfield Public Schools which gave him such joy. He loved outings to restaurants, but more so, spending time and being in the presence with his friends and family.
After moving to Maryland, he was active in traveling, visiting friends, spending time at the beach, snuggling with his dogs, attending soccer games, and becoming a 'local' at some of his favorite eateries. His final home was Spring Lakes Assisted Living where he was welcomed into a wonderful community of friends with both residents and staff members. He was involved in all activities but was especially known for his love of Karaoke, Bingo, Uno, drums and lunch outings. Having a unique name, his tag line when people needed clarification was "My names Basil, I'm the spice of your life."
Basil was survived by his daughter, Jennifer Dawson and her husband, Jeff and their children: Logan, Cameryn, Sydney and Avery Dawson. His stepdaughter, Caryn Hasseltine, and her husband, David, and their children: Taylor and Morgan Hasseltine. In addition he is survived by several cousins, nieces and nephews.
Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 11, 2024 at the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, 30 Clapboard Ridge Rd., Danbury, CT.
Contributions in his memory may be made to the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, 30 Clapboard Ridge Rd., Danbury, CT 06811.
