Alexander Tasso Obituary

Sasha Torre Tasso was a most unique man whose willingness to undertake any adventure, be it going over the reversing falls of the Sheepscot river in search of striped bass or crashing thru a tangle of underbrush for ducks, woodcocks and pheasants.
Supervising my children when they worked for him instilled in them good manners, work ethic and most importantly a sense of humor. He created many happy childhood memories for them.
It was because of Sasha's friendship that I met so many fine people who became lifetime family friends.
Many of our hours together were spent cramped in boats, blinds, and severe weather. He always saw the best side of those times. Sasha was a good, kind, and impressive man. It is with honor and incredible cherished memories that I call him my friend.

Dear Connie,
I will never forget the wonderful years you and Sasha gave to Allie and all of those young girls as they fell in love with horses at your barn. Little did you know the gift, you gave the parents as well. I shall always count the days at your home and barn as some of the fondest memories I have. Sasha was such a gentle soul and you a classy lady. I feel privileged to have crossed paths with you both. I will always picture Sasha puttering around the beautiful grounds of your home in Point Clear in his golf cart. My thoughts and prayers are with you!
Love,
The other Connie

To dear Connie,

I am most grateful for having known Sasha as a teenager and as a young man during a dozen consecutive summers in East Pittston, Maine.

The wonderful Buckley family invited me as their daughter, Patty, and I were the best of friends. The Torre Tasso's were our next door neighbors.

Sasha was the older brother Pat and I longed for; he gave driving lessons, took us to see opening night of "psycho" in Augusta, brought us to "Brownies" for world-class fried clams and had us laughing to the point of abdominal pain.

His humor was never at the expense of others and his laughter was contagious. He was refined and polished and a gentleman in every way. Sasha made the 50's and 60's in East Pittston, Maine, especially memorable for us all.

I am thankful to dear friends, Linwood and Sheila Thayer for re-uniting Dan and me with Sasha and introducing us to you, Connie. May our friendships continue.

Love,

Dan and Elaine Boyajian

Dear Connie and family

Please accept our deepest sympathy and love at this sad time.

What a great and loving man Sasha was! He was the most devoted friend that anyone could have. He was always there to lend a helping hand; or just listen.

For most of our lives, Sahsa was part of our lives, from being a great friend to being our "Best Man' at our wedding to being Godfather to our son, Peter. Sasha was part of our family and we will always treasure our many memories of all of our shared years together. From all the early morning visits to the midnight visits and phone calls. Our children loved him as he did them. Whenever we had a garden, Sash could always be found in the pea patch. We were so happy to be able to send him peas this summer and happier to receive his happy phone call thanking us in only the way that Sasha could thank someone - profusely.

We will mourn and miss Sasha, as we have every other family member that we have lost.

As one of our mutual friends said, "I wonder what new adventure Sasha is on now"? We know that he is still his wonderful, helping self in heaven and loved by everyone!

Our love to you and the whole family.

Love,
Sheila and Linwood Thayer

Dear Connie

From the softball games as teenagers in East Pittston, Maine, to the duck blinds every frosty October morning in Maine, the one person in my life to give inspiration to anyone was Sasha. He was a prince of kindness and unselfishness. Always sacrificing himself and his desires to make others around him comfortable and happy. A friend to everyone whomever would receive his friendship. For those who would choose not to re-establish themselves with his warmth, kindness and friendship, the day has passed. For those opportunistic souls who would advantage themselves to the aforementioned, sadly, the opportunity is gone forever.

Sasha was the most loyal person I ever knew and the closest confidant anyone could have.

My wife, Sheila, and I visited him and his lovely wife, Connie, in Alabama and in S. Carolina. We would discuss 45 years of many good times, the people in our lives, the duck hunts, the pheasant hunts, the skeet shoots we had on Merry Meeting Bay, in Bowdoinham, Maine, with Spears Sedgeley, who shot 25 for 25 from the hip. Sasha and I commented about that often.

Sasha has gone home now and will be well received. I will indeed, be waiting for my friend.

Your Friend

Dear Connie, so sorry - he was a wonderful personality and I am glad to have had the opportunity to have met him.

My wife Mary Anne and I would like to express our deepest sympathy to Connie, Alex, Louise and family. Sasha will always occupy a special place in our memories and in our hearts. My relationship with him was a lifetime of incomparable activities, effervescent comaraderie and very close friendship.

He was a raconteur extraordinaire whose spontaneous charm, generosity of spirit and contagious humor would light up a room. He accomplished things on a grand scale and a small scale with equal facility, style and modesty.

From the first downshift on his mustang, from the season-opening salvo from his duck blinds, from the evening toast of friends and eclectic acquaintances around his dinner table, from the fresh wind in the face when embarking on a lobster boat in Cozy Harbor, Maine or walking together on a frosty morning around the pheasant-filled fields in East Pittston, Maine, from the engaging one-on-one discussions of sports or current events - it was always an interesting and wild ride with passion and enthusiasm. Miraculously, he sponsored the confirmation of my son in the Catholic church. Together we watched our sons grow up.

He will be missed, he will be remembered, he was my friend.

Dearest Connie,
Darden, Julia and I send you our love and sympathy. Sasha will be missed by everyone and although you know that, I wanted to tell you that you are surrounded by love and support now, and always will be. The organization Sasha chose reminds us of what a magnificent man he always was. We love you, Connie.
Susan & Carlos, Julia & Peyton and of course Darden.

Aunt Connie,
I love you so much. My heart is wrapping prayers around you even now. Blessings, Emily Taylor Fendig

Dear Alex and Louise your Dad has a special place in my heart as he was one of my favorite people of all time.

I remember the time whether it was in a duck blind, working at your grandfather's property, pheasant hunting, or the ride from Maine to New York in the famous ford pinto upon which your dad took Al and I golfing to the course by your house. He made us walk while he rode in the cart laughing and telling jokes.

Hero has many names,none greater than Dad. Too a young boy growing up in East Pittston your Dad was one of my heros.

God Bless

Robbie

Every word in Sach's obituary is true ,and could be embelished by more examples of his charm,wit and good cheer. He was a wonderful, lovable companion and I and all who knew him will miss him greatly.
