Friends:
For those who have not yet heard, it is with a heavy heart that I share some very sad news. George Basch, the Founder of Champions of the Planet and Himalayan Stove Project, passed away Friday, 23 February 2024, just two weeks shy of his 87th birthday. He was killed in a head-on collision driving home to his beloved Taos from his former home base in Phoenix where he was visiting for his annual physical and given a clean bill of health. The accident was not his fault. He reportedly died instantly and did not suffer. His final week was spent joyfully with friends. Below is the last photo taken of him during an early birthday celebration. His last text exchange was with his beloved son, Chris.
George and I enjoyed a standing weekly zoom chat during which he spoke of his adventures with and memories of you all. Thank you for making his life magical. I am so very sorry for your loss. Please feel free to reach out to me for anything you may need.
Celebration of Life details will follow as soon as we have them.
