I was so sorry to read of the passing of Harry. I have grateful memories of him when I had my last baby in 1981. If it wasn't for his fast thinking and actions I would not have been here today. I have never forgotten him.

So sorry to read of the news of Dr Bashford passing. He brought my son Jack Lovett-Hurst into this world, if it wasn't for Dr Bashford, Jack would not have survived. Although Jack had many complications Dr Bashford believed in me as a Mother, and in Jack and his progress. Jack has just completed the New York Marathon on his hand cycle agsinst all odds and this would never have been possible if it wasn't for Dr Bashford's expertise from the start of his life. I used to love my visits to Dr Bashford as I always came away with my self esteem lifted. I know he will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

Mr Bashford brought our two children into our lives. He dedicated his time and care for my wife. We are forever grateful. Mr Bashford became our Doctor and our friend. On our visits to Leinster Street. He would proudly talk fondly about his family. Plus about the many roses he and Mrs Bashford grew at their family home. Mr Bashford will always hold a place in our hearts. Our sincere thoughts go out the the Bashford families.
