Published by Legacy Remembers from Oct. 12 to Oct. 14, 2014.
Dr. Bashir H. Mamdani, 68, of 1814 Wilmar Drive, Quincy, formerly of Oak Park, died Friday (Oct. 3, 2014) in his home.

He was born on Nov. 20, 1945, in Tanga, Tanzania a son of Hassanali Jumabhai Ebrahim Mamdani and Fatma Abdulrasool Hassanali Ebrahim Mamdani.

He married Meenal B. Gothoskar Mamdani on Dec. 19, 1971, in Bombay, India. She survives.

Dr. Mamdani was a nephrologist and worked at Cook County Hospital in Chicago from 1972 to 1998. He graduated from St. Xavier's College and Seth G. S. Medical College, both in Bombay, India.

Dr. Mamdani was a founding member of Prayas, Inc. and the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics. He was a founding trustee of G.M. Trust, Mumbai, India. Dr. Mamdani loved making children smile with his funny face contests and loved confounding dinner guests with his contrarian debates. He also enjoyed computer programming, photography (especially restoring old family photographs) and cooking/baking – his specialties were stromboli and focaccia.

In addition to his wife, he is also survived by two sons, Arif B. Mamdani (Channing McKinley) of St. Paul Minn. and Saleem B. Mamdani (Jamie Friye) of Quincy; four grandchildren, Satya, Rasana, Priya and Teo Mamdani; two brothers, Awnali H. Mamdani (Jenny) of Canada and Gulam Haider H.

May Allah swt rest marhum's soul in peace.
He has left us and departed for a better life of hereafter. We are left making duas for him while we are praying to join him in this world full of sins and dishonest surroundings!
All we can do is to pray for him!

It gives me deep grief and a sense of major nostalgia when I write about our dear Bashir Kaka(Uncle).... I always remember him as an epitome of endurance, a person, despite all his pain, had a major smile on his face. He was always a MAJOR SOURCE OF INSPIRATION to one and all who have had the opportunity to Interact with him. With his ever-ready-to-help nature, he has nurtured so many souls... I feel blessed having him as my relative, and may he be granted eternal solace!
