Niladri Amador Basu Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

NILADRI "NEAL" AMADOR BASU January 4, 1979, October 25, 2013 On October 25th, our dear son, Niladri, surrendered his soul to heaven, leaving behind his parents, Sam N. Basu and Sylvia Basu as well as his brother Rhetwick Basu, his former wife, Jessica Daniels, and their beautiful seven year old son, Joshua, along with his aunts, cousins, and many friends who will greatly miss his loving presence and kind, gentle soul. Niladri was an amazing son and brother and a warm and giving friend to all who came into his life. He was happy mentoring and sharing his life with others. He was generous and so patient, especially with children. His gentle spirit touched all who knew him. He was blessed with a sharp intelligence and an ability to articulate beautifully his thoughts and ideas. Above all, he was a loving and devoted father to his son, Joshua, who was the world to him. One of the greatest joys in his life was rediscovering the world through the eyes of his son. Niladri's many interests included the environment, politics, world cultures, the sciences, computers, music and reading, as well as the metaphysical. His great passion was camping and hiking, all that was in nature. There was little that did not capture his interest and imagination. Among his many talents Niladri was skilled at anything mechanical and home improvement projects. He could fix anything and anyone in need of help could always count on him. He had a great attitude and a humble spirit. Niladri respected all life. Nature was sacred to him. An arachnophobe as a little boy, he would delicately pick up a spider no matter how tiny and place it gently outside rather than killing it. His recent trip to Alaska represented the culmination of everything he loved and cherished in life. He thrived in its environment. His happy, smiling face in every picture is a testament to this. We miss you so much Niladri. You will be forever in our hearts. Your tenderness and gentleness will remain with us always. Rest in peace, dearest Niladri. We love you so much. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, October 30th from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Passalacqua Funeral Chapel. In lieu of flowers donations may be sent in Niladri's name to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
