I am so sad to hear about Dr. Bach's passing a year ago. He was very passionate about his fight against Lyme Disease. Dr. Bach and Debbie cared for me and my family during our 10 year battle with Lyme Disease. They saved our lives. My prayers for Debbie.

I think of Greg each time I´m working in Wildwood and I visit his old lifeguard medic building. Such a tragedy for his patients and family. A life well lived.

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since Greg passed. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him. May he rest in peace and know he is sadly missed.

Dr Greg Bach pulled me out of the terrifying abyss of tickborne diseases in 1998-1999 ...He saved this intelligent grad of Stanford University who was beyond suffering. I thank him and his wife.
Rest In Peace dear doctor.

My sympathies go out to Greg´s wife and his extended wonderful family. I knew Greg very well in the 1980´s as he was graduating from Temple and working to get into Medial School a dream he held very dear. I´m glad he accomplished his dream but so sorry he left so soon.

My prayers are with you all,

Michele Lavender O´Connell
