I think of the Doc, Dr Gary Hastwell with the Greatest Love, an ex Patient could have for her Gynaecologist!
I wouldn´t have my 4 children if it wasn´t for him, or 8 my Grandchildren. A very nice Bdside manner and always made me feel safe and calm whilst in his Practice and Hospital. I look at my tiny scars often and thank him for never once ruining my figure!
R.I.P. Doc, you´ve done great services and now you can take your place in Heaven above, with Honour.
Goodbye and Farewell, until we meet again, your Patient, Kelli Mills xx

This is a bit late but the thought of Dr Hastwell not being around to practice his amazing gift is sad. Dr Hastwell took an active part in bringing my four children into the world, the eldest is almost 40. Thank you for being an amazing Dr with a wonderful gift. RIP

Sorry I missed your funeral Gary - was down in Margaret river and only found out when I got back. Lots of deliveries attended with you - but was always comforting to see your calm and reassuring face. Vale.

We miss our sweet Grandad, and will forever treasure our memories of him in our hearts. He was a wonderful grandfather who cared so much for our wellbeing and instilled in us the value of education. We hope to honor him by living lives he would be proud of. We know he's our angel watching over us now, and look forward to reuniting in Heaven. Love you Grandad xxoo

My sincere sympathy to Mrs. Hastwell and family. Dr. Hastwell delivered both my sons the first one being an emergency Caesar. Dr Hastwell had just left Bentley hospital after seeing me when less than half an hour later he was called back in by the nurses. He was there immediately and safely delivered my son now 35 years old. I was one of his first patients at his Mill Street clinic and remember how proud he was of it and what did I think of the colour scheme? I remember remarking on the photo of his family on the wall which was of course his pride and joy. Dr Hastwell was a very caring, compassionate gentleman and an extraordinary doctor it was with deep sadness I heard about his passing.Gwynneth Dudman and family.

Heartfelt condolences to Viola and all Gary's family.
Our friendship spanned 37 years and included many meaningful experiences for which I am most appreciative. I will always treasure Gary's kindness, his generosity and his incredible mind. It was such a privilege and pleasure to have been Gary's friend.
He has left a phenomenal legacy.
I can see him already chatting with God telling him about some innovative approaches that would benefit heaven.
Until we meet again dear friend, Terri XXX

I am so sorry to hear this news. Garry was a contemporary of mine as Residents at Fremantle Hospital and later sent occasional referrals - specialist to specialist.
Garry was a dynamo. I will not forget his infectious giggle.

Our deepest sympathy to Viola and family.
As students Gary and I played tennis and squash. As colleagues he was my valued consultant. In our last two years we shared a weekly cup of coffee at his home: often discussing that one more paper for publication in a research journal.

My darling Gary
I miss you so
But we will never know
How many lives were saved
Because you had to go
Your death was not in vain

You will always be my hero
I love you so.
