MEISAMI-
FARD,
Doctor
Borna
Ah, love! Could thou and I with Fate conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits - and then
Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire?
Father, husband, son, brother, and a true Friend, Doctor Borna
MEISAMI-
FARD
joined Eternity in our hearts on 1 July 2007. Born forty years
ago on 28 May 1967 in Tehran, Iran, Borna and his family came
to Canada in 1984. He studied at the University of Toronto and
graduated as a Doctor of Medicine in 1992. He then pursued his
dream of specializing in orthopedic surgery and established what
was to become a thriving practice in Toronto.
In an age of Identities, he eschewed labels and wove his own
cultural tapestry out of a deep love for his land of birth and
an equally deep commitment to his adopted home; never losing
touch with the one, never losing sight of other, he made both
Iran and Canada his home and native land. But there was more,
much more, to him than all that.
Despite the impositions of a demanding profession, Borna's guiding
axiom was that "life demands to be lived". An avid traveler,
a passionate humanitarian, a connoisseur of fine food, a sailor
and skier and all around sports fan, a keen observer of national
and international issues, a voracious reader of history; but
above all, a friend, a companion of stormy nights and of sun-drenched
moments, an endlessly patient support, a pillar of the community:
Borna was a compleat human. And over the past three years, he
became complete. He married out of love a woman out of legend
the arrival of their daughter rounded their happiness eighteen
months ago.
Shattered and disconsolate by his loss are Doctor Marjan
TABATABAI,
his wife; Ava, his daughter; Doctor Tina
MEISAMI-
FARD, his sister
Dr. Iraj and Mrs. Badri
MEISAMI-
FARD, his parents; his family
and relatives spread across this Mortal Orb; and the many Friends
gathered and nurtured with unfailing attention and support over
the years. Not one soul touched even briefly by his kindness
shall ever forget that Moment; thus he lives on as he leaves
us.
I have lived and have not lived in vain&hellip
But there is that within me which shall tire
Torture and Time, and breathe when I expire&hellip
There will be a Memorial Service on Sunday, 8 July 2007, Regency
Ballroom, Four Seasons Hotel, 21 Avenue Road, Toronto, from 2 to
5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, Friends and mourners may wish to make
a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario. Those
who wish to participate in the funeral procession may meet at
9: 45 at Murray E. Newbigging Funeral Home, 733 Mount Pleasant
Rd., Toronto. The procession begins at 10: 00 a.m.
