Paul M. Basko
September 7, 1948 ~ December 2, 2022
Resided in:
Tyngsborough, Massachusetts
Dr. Paul Martin Basko, faithful servant of Jesus and loving husband and father, went home to be with the Lord on December 2, 2022. Paul had some recent health decline but peacefully transitioned to his eternal home in Heaven to be whole and healed with his Savior.
Paul was born on September 7, 1948 in Denver, Colorado. He graduated from National Chiropractic College in Chicago, IL where he met and married his sweetheart, Georgia Brundige. They moved to Maine and set up their Chiropractic practice in Springvale, ME, where he practiced for over 40 years. Paul was very active in the community and in his church, Pleasant Street Free Baptist Church of Springvale. He served faithfully as a deacon, Bible study teacher, trustee, and leader there for close to 50 years. He was also a guest speaker for Stonecroft Ministries, sharing the testimony of his faith journey with others. He exemplified a committed Christ follower and leaves a great legacy of faith in the church, the community, and in his family. Paul loved to garden and shared his harvest with others. He taught both at Noble High School and York County Community College. He served on the Maine Chiropractic Board for several years. He and his wife Georgia raised their two children in Lebanon, ME on a small historical farm where he cared for grounds and gardens and enjoyed hosting neighbors, exchange students, missionaries, and friends. He and Georgia travelled in later years and treasured time with family, visiting national parks and historical sights with joy and enthusiasm.
Paul and Georgia recently resided in Tyngsborough, MA with daughter Georgia and son-in-law Joshua and four grandsons. They attended Crossway Christian Church of Nashua. They shared their love and faith with neighbors, caregivers and new friends.
Paul leaves behind his loving wife of 51 years, Georgia, his son Aaron Basko and wife Rebecca of Virginia, daughter Georgia Burnett and husband Joshua, six grandchildren that were his pride and joy, sister June Hancock, brother Mark Basko and wife Jeri, Devin Basko, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and church family which have served as “family” to Paul and the Baskos.
The family would welcome all who would like to celebrate the life of Paul to join them for a Celebration of Life service at Pleasant Street Free Baptist Church, Springvale, ME on Saturday December 17, 2022. The gathering will start with visiting at 10:00 am and a service at 11:00 am, followed by lunch and fellowship. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Pleasant Street Free Baptist Church or Stonecroft Ministries, in Paul’s honor.

Uncle Paul,
You were so kind, you were never judgmental or unkind. I am so blessed that you came to my house I cant remember but think it was 2009? You wanted to have my husband who is a chef, cook for you. It was wonderful to have an intimate dinner and visit with you. I cherish that memory. You always came to Denver and ended up doing adjustments on everybody, it was nice to serve you for once. I love you, Im sorry how our bodies fail us, but you are now in your perfect body and free from pain and distress. I love you uncle Paul.
Love Autumn Snow (Autie)

So many memories of Paul and Georgia and their family. First met Paul n Georgia in 1979 as we came to Springvale to do a concert at their church as we did almost every year until the early 90’s. Always staying in their beautiful historic home. Always enjoyed watching Aaron and “Sissy” as they grew up to be lovely adults..always fun to hear about their lives as parents. Paul and Georgia have become lifelong friends though our visits became much less frequent. Paul was always a lovely friend n man of God, gracious n kind, humorous n genuine. Our lives have been impacted by his warm friendship n support…so many lovely memories..we are profoundly grateful that our paths crossed in this life n we look forward to more moments in heaven..but until then we rejoice in the gift of both he and Georgia’s friendship through the years. Our hearts n prayers are with you, Georgia n the whole family..God’s richest blessing of peace.. Frank n Debbie Hargreaves
I’m so sad to hear this news. Paul always had a smile and was willing to help people out.Love and prayers for his family.🙏♥️🙏
Keeping you in my warmest thoughts as you navigate this difficult time — and wishing you hope and healing when you’re ready. Paul’s light will shine on forever in our hearts. Paul and Georgia welcomed me into their home so many times throughout my childhood. I shared many meals and wonderful outings with them which I will always remember with love and fondness. And I’m sure they were kept awake many nights by us giggling girls having sleepovers upstairs. May your memories of Paul lift you as you think of him in the coming days and weeks.
Georgia, I was sorry to hear about Paul’s death. He is in heaven and he is all done suffering in this life. I always enjoy working on many committees with him for the Maine Chiropratic Association and the Maine Chiropractic Exminers. Rest assured that you are in our prayers during this difficult time. Be strong and Bless you and your family
Paul , I will always cherish our friendship and the early mornings cooking men’s breakfast. Our family enjoyed spending time at your house swimming and spending time with you.
Love the Lytle family
Dear Basko Family,
I’m so sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. He made a big impression on me in my teen years, and to this day he is one of the kindest men I’ve ever known. The first time I met him, was when he accompanied my dad to one of my wrestling tournaments. I remember going for early morning walks with them at Wells beach, then breakfast at Congdon’s. I like to think of he and dad walking together on heavenly shores. May God give you peace in this difficult time.
We’ll be praying for Georgia and the family. Lotsa love from the two of us. We will see you again with Him… on the Other Side.
Georgia, I am so, so sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. He was a wonderful, kind, generous and caring man. Love and prayers for you and you family.
To Georgia, Aaron, Georgia, and Family,
We are saddened to hear about the loss of Paul and your Dad. We will always remember his kindness and wonderful smile. We have been friends for many years and will always keep Paul and your family close to our hearts.
With love and sympathy,

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I loved hearing stories about your dad and his gardening, and it was so evident how much you loved and admired your dad. Lots and lots of prayers for you and your family.

My “brother”, my dear friend, my singer, attendee at all our family events , my prayer partner, my encourager, my coffee buddy, my strong supporter throughout all the many phases of my life for over 50 years, and my example of what it’s like to live your faith every day. He will forever be entwined in the memories of all of my family. Sending much love to all of my Basko family, and prayers for God’s comfort and peace in these difficult days. Love you Bro….until we meet again❤️😇
I was so blessed to share the tenor section with Paul for several years singing cantatas that strengthened our faith. He and Georgia were always uplifting me when times were tough and sharing their wonderful faith whenever we met. I have been blessed with their wonderful friendship through the years.
Dr. Basko brought so much relief to both myself and my husband. And what a gentleman he was (and always be). With a warm rememberance from Bob and Katrina Randall
My mother-in-law Judie Shain had a dog a long time ago named Kelly, and she had at the time, another dog Molly. And one day I was at Judie’s home and we were all sitting around the table and Paul said “Kelly keeps touching my leg under the table” Everyone looked at me and my eyes wide open and before I could say anything Paul starts laughing and said “ I mean Molly!” I was new to the family and knew I was going to love them all!
This is a wonderful way to remember Paul and share time spent with him. Love you all. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
May your light shine brightly everyday
Paul was a great friend as well as a great neighbor. He was very knowledgeable and we are so very grateful to have gotten to know Paul as well as Georgia. May God keep you in his loving hands until we meet again one day.
We are very sorry for your loss & have you & your family in our thoughts & prayers.

My condolence to the family of Dr. Basko.
I was a patient of his and so was my husband David Dutch. My mother Florence Gosselin was a patient for many years and just loved him. Paul Basko was a wonderful and caring man.
This is a great loss to the community.
My Deepest Sympathy to the family of Paul Basko. I went to St. Catherine’s Grade School with Paul & Holy Family High School.
I haven’t seen Paul since high school, but remember him as a very studious classmate and good friends with Bill Ficca. I could have used a good chiropractor too bad he was in Maine.
He had healing hands, cared about every aspect of his patients.
Paul was the most kind and gentle man I’ve ever known who loved the Lord and it showed by the way he loved others. Rejoicing with you all, family and friends, that he is in the comforting arms of our Savior, to hear His precious words, “Well done thou good and faithful servant!”
I met Paul (and Georgia) around 1975-76 at PSFB Church, Springvale Me., and through fellowship both at church, their home Bible studies, and choir , Easter Cantata, and visits for adjustments at his practice. Most cherished was being baptized by Paul at Mousam lake.
Mrs Basko, and family. We are so sorry to hear of Mr Basko, passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He will be tremendously missed. Sincerely, Richard & Rachel (Collette) Burbank
