Melrose, Boston, Massachusetts
Of Melrose. David died heroically at the age of 60, on July 25th at Brigham and Women's Hospital, after an eight year battle with leukemia. His wife Karen Hawthorne, his children Nicholas & Simone Finch, his brother Ted Shure & his mother Judith Shure, were with him during the last hours...
Read MoreDavid was always first class whether in music or life in general. Performing with him as I had for decades in the Boston Pops was comforting for me as I knew the next cello solo was going to be beautifully played.

I am Allison's grandmother and Carol's mother. I never met David, but I love Simone as do Carol and Allison. I have been praying for David.

My sincere condolences to you and your family, Karen. I have attended the Boston Ballet for years and have so appreciated the live music and David's contribution to its excellence. He will be missed.

I am so very sorry for the loss of Dave to this world. Through the years since we were students at B.U. together Dave has always been a great friend and source of comfort to me. When I was having a hard time, he would say something or just give me a look that saved me hundreds of times. His friendship is a gift that I will always cherish. David Finch was a fine man.
