David Nesbitt GLASSEY

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.
