Most importantly, Waleed was always there for his daughters to give important and meaningful advice, and he supported them in every way he could.

Waleed taught his daughters how to ski and waterski, how to drive and parallel park, how to mow the lawn, how to play pool and ping-pong.
He paid into scholarship programmes from the time they were born so they would eventually attend university, which they did, graduating with bachelor's and master's degrees. Waleed always set the highest expectations for his daughters and always told them that nothing could hold them back from what they wanted to achieve.
Waleed was the beloved father of three daughters: Nadia Maria (born in 1967), Muna Christine (born in 1969), and Sarah Elizabeth (born in 1975). He loved all the opportunities his career afforded him, including travel to nearly every continent and work on new and exciting projects. Eventually, Waleed started his own consulting company, and served as a board member for companies such as Japex and helped to oversee their Canadian subsidiary, Jacos. Waleed eventually worked for a number of different oil companies, including CanOxy, where he served as President for their Yemeni operation. Waleed and Maggie eventually settled in Calgary, Alberta, with Waleed working for Esso for over 25 years. After considering a number of opportunities, Waleed and Maggie decided to immigrate to Canada after Waleed accepted a position with Imperial Oil, kick-starting a 53-year career in the petroleum industry. Waleed and Maggie eventually traveled the world together, faced life's challenges together, and Maggie was his greatest supporter until the very end, advocating for what she knew he loved and believed in.Īfter graduating with his PhD in Petroleum Engineering, Waleed and Maggie were married on April 19, 1965, and officially started their life together. Waleed would pick Maggie up on his motorbike (despite her beehive hair-do and 1960s style skirt), and they would enjoy music, dancing, and trips to local areas. Waleed met Maggie when she was 15 (almost 16) years old, and they dated for six years. Waleed's time spent in Birmingham were some of his most cherished years, where he made many lifelong friends, and of course, where he met the love of his life, Margaret Hadley. Waleed and his wife, Maggie, would return annually for the University Alumni Reunion and Waleed maintained his relationships with his colleagues for 50 years. Waleed was then accepted to his beloved alma mater, the University of Birmingham, where he completed his Bachelor of Science with Honours, and then went straight on to a PhD programme in chemical engineering. Waleed left Iraq when he was 17 years old to attend Wrexham's Glyndwr University for a year to complete his A-levels. Waleed was also deeply influenced and mentored by his uncle Munir Al-Jazrawy, who he esteemed throughout his life. Waleed loved his homeland of Iraq and reminisced often about his childhood in Mosul, which he shared with his younger brother Khalid and his younger sister Helen. Waleed was born on September 27, 1938, to his parents Alice (neé Mazzucchi) and Wadie Al-Jazrawy in Baghdad, Iraq. Waleed's generosity and hospitality touched the lives of so many and he will be dearly missed by his family and his friends, both in Calgary and around the world. Waleed treasured his family and friends and there was nothing he wouldn't do for the people he cared about. Waleed was an energetic, adventurous, spirited, generous, and genuinely sentimental person, who loved life to its core. It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of our family's beloved patriarch, Dr.
