Joseph Anselme (Sam) Bastarache, 85, passed away peacefully at the Villa Providence in Shediac, NB on Friday, January 28, 2022. Born in Moncton, NB he was the son of the late Elise & Denis Bastarache. Sam will be sadly missed by his loving wife of almost 60 years of marriage, Felixine Bastarache (born Mazerolle); his children Tina Poulin (Dan – Taylor, Justin, Olivia), Louise Eckles (Scott – Shawn, Jessica), Michael Bastarache (Caroline – Maddix, Kassi), Sandra Landers (Graham – Alicia, Nicholas, Brianna), as well as great grandchildren including Daniel, Savannah, Ava (Justin/Kelsey), Ty (Shawn/Sabrina), Maxim (Jessica/Conway), Keisha (Taylor/Kayla).

Sam was an incredible man who understood the importance of supporting and helping others. He was a true entrepreneur, owning several businesses including Nashville North, Pizza King, Don Cherry’s Sports Grill. He also served several years in the Canadian Air Force (1953-1960) as a safety equipment technician. He also moved his family to Waltham, Massachusetts in the 60’s to work at Haartz Auto factory. His passions included playing pool (pool shark), cards, crib, playing and singing music with his brother Willie (Neil Diamond/Waylon Jennings), and most importantly his hockey team, the Montreal Canadians (GO HABS!).

Our thoughts are with your family as you pass through this difficult time.
Ma tante Félixine, cousin et cousines,
Face à la perte d’un être si cher et si précieux, il est difficile de trouver les mots justes dans de telles circonstances, car aucun mot ne peut exprimer la peine et la douleur que l’on ressent. Acceptez ces quelques mots de soutien comme un baume cicatrisant sur la plaie ouverte par le départ de Oncle Sam. Nous vous transmettons nos plus sincères condoléances et sachez que nous sommes de tout coeur et en pensées avec vous. xxxxx
So sorry for your loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these most difficult times.
Beautiful service. I wish I could have been there. Love you lots ❤️
Our deepest sympathies to all of you… It is always sad to see them go…. Sam was a great neighbour in Cap Bimet… I always loved singing for him when there was a party with his family… He will be missed for sure… May he RIP….
