Basil E. Rubin, age 91, of Framingham, formerly of Marblehead, on Thursday, January 26, 2017. For forty years, beloved husband of the late Mildred (Swartz) Rubin. Devoted and loving father of Alane S. Rubin of Boston and Dana R. Sallee & her husband and favorite son-in-law, Richard B. Sallee of Framingham. Cherished Poppa of Maxwell Rubin Sallee.

He served in the United States Navy, Pacific Theater, during World War II as a Signalman aboard the U.S.S. Donaldson. Well into his eighties, his most rewarding occupation, was that of a crossing guard in Marblehead. He was a proud member of the Democratic Party. He graduated from Winthrop High School Class of 1942 and Suffolk University.
We would like to thank the staff of the Carlyle House and Brookhaven Hospice for their loving care of our father.
