PRESCOTT, David Colin David Colin Prescott, age 87, passed away on May 14, 2020 after a long battle with cancer, with his sons Michael and Neil (Robin) by his side. David was a wonderful and caring husband of Margaret for 68 years; grandfather to Samantha, Sloan and Connor and brother Clark Hooton, wife Judy, daughters Kelly and Lisa. David was born in Toronto in 1933 to Margaret Spreadborough and grew up in Weston, Ontario. David worked in the banking industry at CIBC for over 35 years and retired as a senior executive for the bank. David and Margaret retired to Peterborough, where they enjoyed the culture and offerings of the city to the fullest. David had numerous and varied interests. He was an avid fisherman, bird watcher, gardener, poker player, reader, golfer, curler, and all-around sports enthusiast. David and Margaret could often be seen at the Peterborough Lakers Lacrosse games, movies at the Muse, concerts in the park, and at plays by the Peterborough Players. David was founding member of the Peterborough Woodturners Association, and on the board of the Peterborough Singers, and could be seen leading a Tai Chi group down by the water on Little Lake. David loved being a part of Margaret's large family. David will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. A special thank you to the staff in the palliative care unit at Peterborough Regional Hospital who took exceptional care of him during his last weeks. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. "David Prescott Did Everything Well" see link... Blog.johndowning.ca

When I heard the news of the passing of Mr. Prescott I was certainly heart broken. I first met Mr & Mrs Prescott through their son Neil and a few later I met Michael. It was the love of football that brought Neil and I together at an early age and we remained friends many years after as Neil soon became the Best Man at my wedding. Its was only then did I learn the full names Mrs Prescott because they were respectfully always Mr & Mrs to me....we needed it for the wedding invitations. I remember asking Neil "what's your Mom and Dad's name. I still smile when I think of that day 34 years ago.

Although time passes and people drift apart I stayed in touch with Mr. Prescott exchanging messages about fishing and family and as a diehard Oshawa Generals fan the odd poke about those dirty Pete's. I always found Mr. Prescott firm but fair and quick to respond to something he firmly believed in which is a trait I have incredible respect for. My wife Lisa and I would see Mr & Mrs Prescott when they would travel to near bye craft shows so we could catch up and I still have a few things he made including a wooden pen, nothing like finding another talent after retirement.

The world lost a couple of gems in Mr & Mrs Prescott and my heart truly aches at their departure from this life. Mrs Prescott was one of the kindest people I knew, I can still see her standing at the door with an apron onsmiling and waving as I picked Neil up for Football practice. Sincere condolences from my family to the entire Prescott family, extended and beyond. Lisa and I are hear for you, we never left. Much love until we see each other again...Peace Out.
