David GLASSEY Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Sep. 22 to Sep. 26, 2018.
DAVID NESBITT GLASSEY May 21, 1936 - September 18, 2018 After a short battle with cancer, David fell asleep in Jesus at the age of 82 in Toronto, Ontario. He was predeceased by his parents, Dr. David Glassey and Anne Nesbitt-Glassey; and his brother, Jeremy. A lifelong learner if there ever was one, David studied first at University of Toronto Schools and then Queen's University, followed by post-graduate studies at Michigan Tech. A geologist by training, David spent many years working in the mining industry in the Canadian north. He specializing in mineral sampling and mining economics. There was not a subject in the arts or sciences which David could not wax eloquent. He spent his days studying from textbooks, exploring libraries, taking courses, all the while making meticulous and artful notes with the skill of a trained scribe and draftsman. David was a follower of the Lord Jesus and had no problem integrating his faith in God with his knowledge of the cosmos. He saw himself as a sheep under the care of the Good Shepherd. He is now resting in the arms of Him who loved him and gave His life for him. All are welcome to attend a Memorial of his life celebrated with stories and recollections followed by refreshments to be held at Danforth Gospel Hall, 2237 Danforth Ave., Toronto, ON on Sunday, September 23, 2018 at 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: MSC Canada 101 Amber Street, Unit 16 - Markham ON - L3R 3B2.

David Glassey was a fellow church brother of Danforth Gospel Hall. We've known him for over 20 years. David was one of the most intelligent person we have ever met. You could discuss any subject with David and you would be amazed of how knowledgeable he was at every subject. David will be remembered for his great sense of humor and his faith in the Lord. He surely will be missed.

Mr Glassey was my grade 6 teacher at Hilltop Public School in Etobicoke in 1964. I remember a funny, compassionate and caring teacher. He took time to teach an eager 11 year old all about rocks and minerals. Rest in peace Mr Glassey. Forever remembered.

David was our cousin....the last of the chilgren of our Uncl Bill and Aunt Ann Glassey. My brother Larry Wilson went to UTS at the same time as David. The last contact I had with David, was s wonderful phone call from him about 3 Christmaes ago. Wish I had known him better. We shared many happy memories of our times at the cottage at Glassey Island on Stoney Lake.
Unfortunately there is not enough time to attend his memorial..

David was a sweet genius and an educated man of letters... beautiful letters, graphics, all freehand drawn with laser like accuracy. He also was interested in sharing his vast knowledge of science with others. He will be missed. Heaven's gain is our loss.
