Jamal was born on February 9, 1933,in Rezaiyeh (now Urmia) West Azerbaijan province, Iran. The youngest son from a prominent Iranian family. He was the youngest of nine siblings, four brothers and four sisters.
Jamal graduated with a Medical Degree from the University of Tehran, Iran in 1958. On his own, with $100 in his pocket, he made the 7,000 mile journey to the United States. He would tell stories of renting a room at the local YMCA.
In 1961, Jamal married, and they had three children. Through the years, they had lived in Iran and Massachusetts. In 1967, he joined the medical staff at Worcester Hahnemann Hospital, Worcester, Massachusetts. In November of 1969, after becoming board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Jamal was offered a position at Worcester Hahnemann Hospital with privileges in both obstetrics and gynecology. In January of 1971,Jamal Mobed became a United States citizen. It was in Worcester, MA that he worked in private practice as an OB/GYN for the next 45 years. During this time, Jamal literally delivered thousands of babies. Back in the day, patients would have Jamal's home phone number and call 24/7 for all of their medical needs. His patients were like family.
In addition to his passion for medicine, Jamal had a passion for learning and a thirst for knowledge. In his spare time, he would read encyclopedias and periodicals. A dictionary by his bedside at all times. He was a lover of old classic movies including westerns. Johnny Guitar was a favorite. He was an animal lover. Jamal loved to garden and had many magazine worthy flower beds. He planted flowers, fruits and vegetables. He was a lover of nature. He loved standing in the rain under a good thunderstorm. He loved the views and peace of the mountains and ocean. Jamal had an antique Cadillac Sedan Deville that he drove with pride. He was able to showcase his car in the local 4th of July parade.
Jamal was a gifted physician, possessed a green thumb, but nothing could ever compare to his love and devotion for his family. Jamal was involved in his grandkids' lives. It was not uncommon for him to try to climb in the kids' bounce house, play hide and seek, sing a song and dance with the kids. We enjoyed weekly family dinners at his home.
