Unexpectedly on October 26, 2019 at the age of 82 with loving family by his side. Much loved husband of Vivian (nee Edison) for 57 years. Dearest father of Kelly Malcolm and husband John, Kim Kupiecki and husband Dave. Cherished “Grandpa Dave” of Alissa, Emily, Vivienne, Katie and Harper. Survived by his brother Mike and his wife Lynn and predeceased by his siblings Donald and Mary, and his parents Harold and Edith Klinck. Loving uncle of Ann, Barb, Karl, Todd and Michael. Predeceased by his nephew Dan Klinck. Brother-in-law of Karen and Bill Brumit.

David was a well-educated horticulturist and avid gardener. David was a favourite high school science teacher for many students, across the decades at Essex High School. Most of all David was a good man; kind, generous and loving. His family will miss his humour and genuineness.
