In Memoriam <\/i><\/i>Dr. Abbas Bolandgray
\nJune 3, 1931 \u2013 August 4, 2026<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr. Abbas Bolandgray was born on June 3, 1931, in Tehran, Iran. He was the son of Zahra and Ali and the beloved younger brother of Ghodsi, whose guidance and mentorship would profoundly influence the man he would become. Upon completing medical school in Shiraz, Abbas Bolandgray traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to pursue his residency in obstetrics and gynecology, becoming the first foreign physician accepted into the program at the University of Michigan Medical School. It was there that he met his beloved wife, Jannat Sirous. The two married in 1965 and returned to Shiraz, where they had their three daughters, Azar, Soraya, and Leila.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bolandgray was a devoted husband, an inspirational father, and a pioneering physician who delivered thousands of babies throughout his career. Beyond medicine, he embraced life with creativity and curiosity\u2014he loved to read, listen to Iranian classical music, and, after retiring, devoted himself to painting, creating art inspired by the beauty of nature, the places he knew, and the people he loved. He was a generous friend who believed in living a good and honest life, and a doting grandfather to nine grandchildren whom he adored beyond measure. His kindness, wisdom, and love touched generations of family, friends, and patients. He will be deeply missed and forever cherished in our memories and in the lessons he taught us.<\/p>\n
