David Shoemaker passed away peacefully at Freeport Hospital in Kitchener on Monday December 20th with his wife of 52 years by his side. David was 78. He is survived by his wife Margaret, his son Kristian, his daughter-in-law Delia and the light of his life, his granddaughter Katelyn.
The family would like to thank David’s nieces Moni, Heidi and Doris, and a special thank you to Margaret’s sister Heidi. The family would also like to recognize and thank the kind staff of PT2 at Freeport Hospital who took such good care of David during his stay. Margaret would also like to thank the Rev. Marty Molengraaf for his remarkable kindness and compassion and also acknowledge the support of her neighbours Mike and Teri Ryan and Glenn Paulley.
David graduated from Ryerson in Toronto and worked his entire career in Information Technology, starting with large main-frame computing and finishing at NCR in Waterloo after 28 years. What he enjoyed most was being a handyman for family and friends alike; but his biggest pride was his family, especially Katie.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer Society of Waterloo Wellington would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy. Messages and condolences may be left for the family at www.tricitycremations.com or 519.772.1237. Please visit David's obituary notice on Facebook.
