Steve Jobs' Estranged Father Claims He Wanted The Baby

October 11, 2011 6:12 am

Steve Jobs' real father, who survived his son and left him soon after his birth along with his biological mother, claims he did not want to give baby Steve away. He is now 80 years old and works as a manger at Boomtown Casino in Reno. Abdulfattah "John" Jandali says he wanted to be a father to little Steve, but his soon-to-be wife abandoned the baby.

TMZ spotted Mr. Jandali leaving the casino in Nevada grabbing iPhone 4 in his hand. It looks like some of Steve's legacy reached a person who left him 56 years ago.

Dailymail wrote in August that the biological father of Steve Jobs tried to get into contact with his son. He has emailed Mr Jobs a few times but has not called for fear he would wrongly think he was after his money.

'This might sound strange, though, but I am not prepared, even if either of us was on our deathbeds, to pick up the phone to call him,' Mr Jandali said.

'Steve will have to do that, as the Syrian pride in me does not want him ever to think I am after his fortune.

'Now I just live in hope that, before it is too late, he will reach out to me, because even to have just one coffee with him just once would make me a very happy man'.
