Dr. Saeed H Hashmi

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Saeed H Hashmi of Oxford NS. Dr. Hashmi passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and friends on July 31, 2014 at the East Cumberland Lodge, Pugwash.
Born in Khanpur Pakistan, he was a son of the late Dr. Faiz Ul Hasan and Meriam (Khan) Hashmi.
Dr. Hashmi moved to Canada in 1964 and performed his residency in Saint John, NB. His wife arrived a few years later and they settled in Oxford, NS where they lived. Dr. Hashmi was a local physician who was very proud to serve his community and always made himself available to serve the public. A humble "country" doctor, he commonly made house calls and his office was always open after hours. His wife passed in 1990 and he retired in 1994. He enjoyed the last 20 years of his life with Elizabeth Steele. Saeed was very passionate about flying and took flying lessons in Debert and Moncton.
He will be sadly missed by his son Nasir (Araceli Flores) and grandson Liam, Toronto, close friend Elizabeth Steele, Pugwash, brother Aziz (Edith), Moncton, nephews Yousef, Charlottetown, Karim, Moncton; niece Jamila (Halifax); great nephew and nieces: Olivia, Kayla and Tyler as well as extended family in Pakistan and England.
He was predeceased by his wife Zahida (Omayjavaria) brothers Riaz and Zia.
Arrangements are under the care of W. Allen Funeral Home, 60 Water St, Oxford, NS (902-447-2167). In keeping with the Muslim Tradition, his remains were taken to the Dartmouth Mosque and were there for the Friday Prayers and Funeral Prayers. They then travelled to the Cemetery in Bible Hill, NS and he was laid to rest beside his wife. A time of Remembrance and Sharing will be held mid September, and will be announced at that time.
