ohammed A. Ayyad, a dedicated and loving father. Mohammed Ayyad, was born in the city of Gaza-Palestine on the fifteenth day of October 1936 as the third son to Ayyad and Sarari Ayyad. He lived through WWII, and witnessed the occupation of the Motherland Palestine by the European Zionists and their murderess affiliations.

Mohammed Ayyad was fortunate to live the days of prosperity prior to the occupation, though not long afterwards suffered with the rest of the family and the country the loss of all personal wealth and means of basic comfort and survival, with the exception of the passion and encouragement of two dedicated parents, and loving siblings.

Through persistence, and a will not to disappoint his father, he continued on to college with a goal to pursue Medical school, but due to the then limited personal and family financial assets as mentioned, stopped short from that, earning his degree in Chemistry and Biology, where his path soon after guided him to the -then cutting edge- field of polymer and plastics engineering (1960s).

Not very long after, and with the counsel of his older brother, Mohammed married, and over time, he became the father to five children whom became the main obsession in his life, doing everything to serve them with what might be described as "extreme" sacrifice and devotion. Mohammed Ayyad grew to become a very successful person in his career as an international consultant with an acknowledged professional reputation in the petrochemical and plastics industries around the world; this gave him the opportunity to become a true globe-trotter and multi-lingual covering the European, Asiatic, African, and of course the American continents alone and with his family.

At the young age of 64, he was diagnosed with a malignant tumor which was removed on the remembrance day of his birth of 2001. The malignancy was successfully suppressed via treatments for three years, until an event took place which triggered the reoccurrence of the tumor, eventually leading to his passing-over on the twenty-third day of October 2003; not long after sharing with his older son, Raed, the following comment: "I hope that you do understand that I was not a perfect man even though I did try. I did my best based on what I knew and learned. and I hope that you will find it in your heart to forgive me for the mistakes I might have made... The only thing I did and still do know is that I love you all." His last inquiry while still mentally conscience was about his son Sami.

During the last three years of his life, Mohammed Ayyad was showered with the attention, support, and abundant love of all those whom he had touched their lives, ranging from family and friends, medical staff, to casual acquaintances and even people he never met, until the last moment when he left this realm while in the peaceful act of sleeping at roughly two o'clock in the morning, to join many awesome loved ones whom lead the way ahead of the living to the stars.
