Beloved husband and best friend of Ann for 63 years. Loving father of Greg (Lori) Cox and Laura (John) Watling. Proud grandfather of Amanda, Leah, Elizabeth, and Brooklynne. He will also be lovingly remembered by brother in-law Ed (Fran), brother Bob (Sylvia), and many good friends.
He was predeceased by his sister Brenda and his brother Roger.
David was born in Stockport, England and came to Canada in 1969 with his young family. He was a life-long Manchester United supporter and enjoyed watching them play at Old Trafford with his dad Fred when he was young. David was an extremely talented and qualified watchmaker and enjoyed his much loved hobbies of golf, wine making and travelling. David won many awards for his winemaking skills including a Canadian Amateur Gold Medal for his sweet sherry. Travelling was one of his great joys and made sure that his children and grandchildren were able to join him on trips to England and France. When he wasn't travelling to wine regions in various parts of the world he enjoyed his rounds of golf with Ann and their good friends.
He instilled in his family a love and respect for fine wine, cheese and the beauty of the analog watch.
In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will take place when it is safe to gather and have a toast to David.
As expressions of sympathy, donations in his memory to the Parkinson Society of Canada would be appreciated by his family.
