Dr. John Bascom

I have posted previously. I think about this man during the holiday season. He was amazingly kind man. I was one of the worst patients that he saw and did surgery on. I have had a few problems with my health. But this man was amazing. He was a honest and loving man. I hope that my story my have help someone. I had an illeostomy when I was 23. Lost a husband after 15 years of marriage. Numberous surgeries. And had a lot of bad surgeons. He promised me that he would take care of me. Since...

Jan 16 2014.I learned today that John had joined Ruth, my husband, and all our old gang from K State in the world beyond. Blessings on all his descendants! I wish I knew you all!

Jan.16,2014.I learned today of John's passing. He&Ruth,my husband & I were part of a gang at KState who had marvelous times together. We were able to see them during his residency in Chicago together with the older children, and again in Eugene. My husband also died in 2013. My condolences to his children, but I know they are blessed with huge memories from life with Ruth& John..and music, poety, etc.etc. It was a wonderful life!!Suzanne Wheeler Watt St.Charles,IL

Dr. John Bascom has left a huge bequest in amount of approximately $59,000.00 to Eugene's four sister city programs, which would be distributed through Eugene Sister Cities Foundation of which I have been president for many years. Serving for the Eugene's Korean sister city program I was lucky to do several community projects with them such as a brush painting exhibition by a Jinju artist, receiving Jinju City Delegation, supporting recruitment of Hyundai Semiconductor (Hynex) to Eugene,...

This man saved my life in so many ways. In 1998 I had another breakdown and infection. I was 40 years old and had gone through 20 + suregeries since the age of 23. He was suggested by University of Washington. I had come to not trust very many doctors and their promises. I was on my second marriage and my husband and I were separated. We went down to Eugene and after Dr. Baxcom remarked that I had the deepest butt crack that he had ever seen, he promised me that he could fix me. And...

Dr. Bascom literally saved my life. I suffered with pilonidal disease for 5 over five years with 4 surgeries that left me with an open wound. In 2007, I traveled to Oregon and met with Dr. John Bascom and his son Dr. Tom Bascom and had my 5th and final surgery the next day. I have enjoyed complete healing for almost 6 years and will remember this man fondly for giving me my life back. He is a wonderful man that was devoted to healing and for that I am eternally grateful!

The Bascom boys and their parents lived just down the street from us on Fairchild in Manhattan. That whole family continues to be a great source of appreciation and inspiration for all they were able to accomplish as professionals and good citizens. Dr. George was a particular friend.

I never had the privilege of meeting this great man. His expertise, his professional knowledge is followed by his son, a doctor himself. My heartfelt condolences to the entire family. The world lost a great man but Heaven gained him. God Bless.
