wife, Hazel
LOIS and by his three children Anne (Joseph,) Nora
ANDERSON

grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Dear brother to

University, was the last of the great Dickensians, having read
most of the great classics. He had a particular fondness for
Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy. He wrote short stories and
at the age of 70, continued to take courses at U. of T. Up until
the end of his life, David took great pleasure in continuing
to write fiction. Friends may call the Rosar-Morrison Funeral
