Edward Najeeb Basha Jr. (August 24, 1937 – March 26, 2013) was the Chairman & CEO of Bashas', Inc., a grocery store chain in Arizona. His father, Eddie Basha Sr., and his uncle, Ike Basha, founded Bashas' in 1932. The first store under the Bashas' banner was opened in Chandler, Arizona.
Early life and education
Basha was born in Chandler, Arizona, where his father owned a grocery business. The Bashas were originally from Lebanon, entering the United States by way of New York City. They moved from New York City to Arizona in 1910. He graduated from Chandler High School and then obtained a degree in History at Stanford University.
Career
Bashas' was founded by Eddie Basha Sr. and brother Ike Basha. Upon the death of Ike, Eddie Basha Sr. continued running Bashas'. Eddie Basha Jr. took full control of the family business upon the death of his father. Beginning in 1968, Basha expanded the small company to a nationwide chain of 160 stores.
Basha ran an unsuccessful campaign as the Democratic nominee against incumbent Arizona Governor Fife Symington in 1994. He was a supporter of many charitable and civic causes, particularly working with education and the poor in Arizona. He supported same-sex marriage during his gubernatorial campaign, years before it became an issue for contemporary society in the early 21st century.
Personal life and death
Basha was a member of the Roman Catholic Church.
He was a collector of Western American and American Indian art. In 1992 he carved out a space in the corporate offices of Bashas' (Chandler, AZ) and created an art gallery where the collection remains available for public viewing free of charge. Masterworks of the collection has been loaned to Museums across the nation such as The Autry (Los Angeles CA), The Booth Museum (Cartersville, GA), The Rockwell Museum (Corning, NY), Western Spirit: Scottsdale Museum of the West (Scottsdale, AZ), the Heard Museum (Phoenix, AZ), the Eiteljorg Museum (Indianapolis, IN) and many others. As a collector, he was more apt to acquire masterworks of contemporary artists whom he met and developed lifelong friendships with.
Basha was also a passionate and ardent supporter of education. He served consecutive terms on the Chandler Unified School District governing board, the Arizona State Board of Education, and as a member of the Arizona Board of Regents. Along with his wife, Nadine Mathis Basha, and Rhian Evans Allvin, First Things First, an early childhood (ages 0–5) statewide program passed a ballot initiative that funded the development, health and education of young children. It was a milestone achievement which Basha said would benefit the lives of millions of children throughout Arizona. Arizona was the second state to pass such a program.
In addition, Basha devoted countless hours toward the plight of the homeless and hungry, health care issues, a proponent of the arts, numerous political referendums and many other community and civic projects as well.
Basha died on March 26, 2013 and is survived by his wife Nadine Mathis Basha, and sons Eddie III, Ike, Mike, David, Josh and Jeremy.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL... He Leadeth Me In
pastures green? Not
always; sometimes He who knoweth best,
in kindness leadeth me In many
ways where heavy shadows be. Out of
the sunshine warm and soft and bright... Out of
the sunshine into the darkest night, I oft
would faint with sorrow and affright, Only
for this...I know He holds my hand; so
whether in the green or desert land I trust
although I may not understand. And by
still waters? No, not
always so; Ofttimes the
heavy tempests round me blow, And
o'er my soul the waters and billows go. But
when the storms beat loudest and I cry aloud for
help, the Master standeth by And
whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." Above
the tempest wild I hear Him say, Beyond
this darkness lies a perfect day. In
every path of thine I lead the way. So
whether on the hilltops high and fair I
dwell, or in the sunless valleys where The
shadows lie...what matters? He is there. And
more than this, where'er the pathway lead He
gives to me no helpless broken reed, But His
own hand, sufficient for my need. So
where He leads me, I can safely go, And in
the blest hereafter I shall know Why in
His wisdom, He hath led me so. Author
