Dr. Reginald Herbert Yabsley

My thought and prayers are with the yabsley family I worked in orthro with him he was a incredible surgeon and a word a perfectionist at his word he always acknowledged either you where in or or out he had the best technique I had worked with in or I was known as miss Cindy to him and was surgeon for my older sister Emma Cox from Truro which he has a special place in my heart and his passing leaves a special hole in my heart sorry for the delay but I was unwell myself with a liver transplant surgery last year he holds a special place in my heart

I would like to send my condolences to the family of the late Dr. Reginald Yabsley. It is with great sadness that I learn of his passing as I thought of him today. Dr. Yabsley did my surgery when I was in a horrific boat explosion in 1987. We had so much respect for the most pleasant doctor who came to our room with a red rose on his coat on Monday morning, that we invited him and his wife to our wedding in Meteghan and they came to celebrate with us. He was a wonderful soul and I am so so sad to hear of his passing. I always hoped I would be blessed with seeing him again. May he rest in peace.

So sad to learn of Dr. Yabsley's passing. I used to love when he'd pop in to see us in the Biomed Shop, with conversations ranging from electronics to orreries to woodturning... and always with a smile. A very big loss.

Dear Shirley&family,
We are so sorry for your loss.I knew Reg both professionally and personally. He was at the ready when I had quite a serious cut years ago, and insisted on taking me himself to the VGH and doing the stitching. You can be sure it was a great job. Thinking of you all as you mourn his passing.

Dear Susan and all of the Yabsley family, It was heartbreaking to hear of the loss of Dr. Yabsley. He had so many talents, a zest for life, and a twinkle in his eye. I can't believe I first met him almost 50 years ago. You are all in my thoughts at this time.

Dear Andrew,

My sincere sympathy on the loss of your Dad to you and your family.

I was an x-ray technologist who worked for many years in the VG OR and enjoyed the times I worked with Dr. Yabsley. He was a true professional in the operating room and really cared about his patients. My sincere condolences to his family.

Bart and family, thinking of you.

My sincere condolences in the passing of Dr. Yabsley, I was a very young, nervous patient of his back 30+ years ago. I was from another area in the province coming to a "big" hospital. Dr. Yabsley was kind, caring, professional, and a compassionate person. I will never forget him. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

We have lost a good friend & doctor. He will always be in our hearts. God be with you in your time of sorrow.I will miss his smile & good conversation. Ann Roberts ( Hfx Civic Hospital / Lee Valley Tools)

I was an occasional patient of Dr. Yabsley and he was "just what the Doctor ordered" My wife and I recently visited London England and looked up a street named after ancestors of Dr. Yabsley. We took photos of the sign but
did not have the chance to show him. To you the family we offer our sincere condolences at this difficult time.
