Waheed H. Siddiqui

I am very sorry to hear of the death of my old friend Waheed. Waheed and I shared a flat in Ottawa in 1969/70 - can't believe it was so long ago. Happy memories of aphid counting and late night hockey on the TV with cold beer and Cicero's pizza and repelling invasions of carpenter ants and Waheed's eating countless hot chillies from a jar (how'd he do that?) and his great cooking. A warm and humorous colleague and friend, and fellow 'midnight ecologist'. My condolences and greetings to...

Waheed and I worked together as graduate students at Carleton University under Professor Al Barlow in Ottawa, Ontario where he worked seven days a week for about five years on his research. He showed be the basics of the type of research I then conducted at Carleton. He was a collegial,ethical, pleasant and knowledgeable friend who helped his fellow students.

Dr. Asma Siddiqui, I wasn't aware of your father's passing. You & him were both very close to each other, you actually had a hugging family. My condolences to you! Big hugs w/ dances! XOXOXOXOX

Asma,
I had no idea, I am so sorry for you loss, and only wish I could be there for you. My love and thoughts are with your family during this trying time. Please let me know if I can do anything.

Miss you buddy so much. Love you.

I was so sorry to hear of Waheed's passing. He was my very first boss, as a high school co-op and again after college. What I remember most about him was his happy nature…always the huge smile. He spoke to me often of his son and daughter. He was very proud of them, even as children. I, along with many others, will never forget him.

Asma, I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you.

Jafar and Asma, your father was a caring friend, mentor and colleague for many years. Our sympathies are with you and the entire Siddiqui family at this time. He will be missed.

I met Waheed at Dow Corning through the Biomedical Research and Product Stewardship Programs. He was very knowledgeable and easy to work with and was always enthusiastic. I respected his opinions and considered Waheed a friend. Jim Hampton (Northport, MI)
