Alberto was a friend and colleague of my late first husband, Michael. Both being perfectionists, Michael did lots of work at Alberto's beautiful Capitol Hill home. Because of the time required to complete the work, Alberto would occasionally invite me over for dinner. The pocket doors were perfection, as was other work that was completed. I will always remember Alberto as witty, smart-mouthed, and funny. We shared lots of fun times including celebrating his birthday at his sister's gorgeous waterfront home in Virginia. Hard to believe that he has been gone since 2019. Sadly, we lost touch with him after he moved to Florida. May he rest in God's perfect peace.

Alberto Bastida was a very good friend since we met in September 1957 when we started our Architectural studies at the Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Catholic University in Havana, Cuba. We continue our friendship after 1961 when we had to exile in Washington ,D.C.  Aida, his mother came to live here and became one of my closest friend.  After he moved to Miami I will see him when I visited and kept in touch with our friend Antonio del Moral, with whom we had lunch the last time I saw him three years ago. He already was loosing his memory and I was afraid he could get lost when he insisted that I dropped at the corner of his apartment in Coral Gables because he wanted to walk, not being dropped at the front door. I will always remember Alberto dearly.

I am very sorry of his passing. He was a great and dear friend. Even though I lost contact with him since he was moved from Naples he was greatly missed. Antonio del Moral 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I met Alberto in Washington over 45 years ago thru a common friend who invite us both to lunch.  A close friendship was formed that continued with his move to Florida and mine to Brazil.  He visited me in Brazil several times and I visited with him in Florida.  Alberto was witty, but sardonic, well read, and a perfectionist.  Both his home in Washington which he completed redid from the bare walls and his apartment in Coral Gables could have been in architectural and home design magazines.  After he became ill our contact was cut but my affection for Alberto continued which lead me to find this obituary only today.  RIP Alberto, you are missed.
