David Glicksman Obituary

David A. Glicksman passed peacefully on August 5, 2025, with his family in Tucson, Arizona. David is survived by his wife of 72 years, Nancy, 3 children, 9 grandchildren and 4 great- granddaughters.

Nancy and David moved to Tucson in Arizona in 1999 and settled into Sunflower where they built many lasting friendships. David was instrumental in establishing and running the travel club, planning many legendary mystery trips. Always ready with a joke or story, David turned his vast humor library to alleviating the challenges of COVID with a daily emailed joke that continued for over 800 days. But most of all, he took delight and pride in his family and never failed to express his love and unconditional support. In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of your choice are appreciated.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I only met Mr. Glicksman once a long time ago but I enjoyed his letters to the editor. I know that he will be missed by his family.
