James (Jimmy) Bassett, age 57, of Barefoot Bay, FL & formerly of Danbury, CT, passed away on August 20, 2014, after fighting end stage heart disease for over 14 years.

Jimmy worked as a printer since high school but the highlight of his professional career was the time he spent working for New Fairfield Press, which became his second family, especially when he first became ill 14 years ago. After moving to Florida, Jimmy no longer officially worked but he did manage to put 453,000 miles on Sue's 2010 Ford Fusion, and as a result met many special people along the way!
During his spare time Jimmy enjoyed his beloved New York Yankees, New York Giants & NY Jets. Thanks to the influence of his late In-laws, Marge & Bob, he also became a fanatic Lady UCONN Huskies Fan! But, the sport he adored the most was NASCAR! For many years he & his wife Sue went to as many as 10 NASCAR races a year with the highlight being when he was a guest of Bristol Motor Speedway for the Food City 250 on August 26, 2000. Sue will especially miss Jimmy on Memorial Day when together they would watch racing starting with The Monaco Formula 1 Race, followed by The Indy 500 & ending their racing day with The Coke 600!
In addition to his wife Sue, Jimmy is survived by his brother Glen Bassett & sister-in-law Beth of Brewster, MA, his sister Lori Hubina & brother in-law Paul of Newtown, his sister Wendy Weyer of Danbury and his sister Allison Sagnelli of Brookfield, his sister-in-law Maureen Hoock of St. Louis, MO, his sister-in-law Eileen McCann of Trumbull & his brother-in-law Terry Sheehan of Trumbull. He also held a special place in his heart for his nieces & nephews including Dr. Michael McCann of Hamden, Brendan McCann of Port Jefferson Station, NY, Coleen McLaughlin of Trumbull, Josh Weyer of New Milford, Nick, Mike & Matt Weyer of Danbury, Kelly Sagnelli of Danbury and Baylee & Frank Sagnelli of Brookfield, Steven Hubina of New York, New York, Grace Carpenter of Southbury and Janis & Andrew Hubina of Newtown, Chelsea Stranger & Emily Bassett of Brewster, MA. He was also very excited when he became a Great Uncle to Avery & Mason Keeler of Danbury and Logan & Andrew McLaughlin of Trumbull. Last but not least, Jimmy was also a devoted Dad to his furry kids Blue, Chez, Taco & Midnight.
Jimmy is preceded in death by his parents Jim & Grace Bassett formerly of Danbury & his in-laws Marge & Bob Sheehan formerly of Trumbull and his beloved pets Dudley, Awesome, Horace, Max, Maxine, Rocco & Nacho.
