DAVID GELLATLY Obituary

GELLATLY, DAVID PETER July 31, 1938 - February 19, 2022 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved David (Dave) Peter Gellatly, 83, on Saturday, February 19, 2022, at the Cortellucci Hospital in Vaughan, of a stroke. Dave's departure has come as a deep shock to all who knew him, particularly given his 5-day-a-week tennis schedule up to his last days. Dave was a storyteller known for his bright mind, quick wit, charisma, generosity and loving nature. He was loved by all who met him and will always be remembered for his love of life, family and friends. Dave will be deeply missed by his wife Ninette Elmalem, son Dave Gellatly Jr. (Liam, Kayla, Katie, Joshua, Jonathan, Mya), daughter Laura Gellatly, brother Andy Gellatly (Lee-Ann, Craig, Bryan), and stepchildren, Nathalie Okorofsky (Ethan), Carol Klait (Noah, Daniel), Keren Pertsis (Sebastien, Addison) and Oudi Elmalem (Oliver, Jaxon). For those desiring, a memorial donation can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. A visitation and service to celebrate Dave's glorious life will be held at YORK FUNERAL CENTRE, located at 160 Beecroft Road, on Thursday, February 24th, at 9 a.m. Please bring proof of vaccination and government issued identification. For those who wish to view the livestreamed service, please visit www.etouch.ca. A wake will be held at a later date. FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

Hello Andy

I am deeply saddened at the loss of your dear brother.
I have known Dave for most of my adult life but, regrettably, we hadn't seen each other for a long time.
My sincere condolences to his family.

Dave was our insurance agent and friend for many years when we lived in Toronto . He grew up with my husband Johnny Morrow who passed in 1985. So sorry to hear of your loss and we were truly blessed to have know Dave. Sincerely the Morrow Family.

Please accept my condolences on the passing of a wonderful man and gentleman. As a young "newbie" in the Insurance world, David always treated me with courtesy and respect. It was a lesson I carried with me throughout my career.

Ninette: My sincere condolences to you and the family.
I knew David many moons ago when he and I used to play tennis on a regular basis prior to him moving
out of Etobicoke. He was a very decent human being with a marvellous sense of humour. There weren't too many like him.

I am so sad. I knew David since the 70's as a friend in the insurance brokerage profession. He gave more to the world than he took back; the true measure of a man.
