WADLEY, David Bertrum -

Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather. Died peacefully on Tuesday, April, 23 2013 at the age of 85.

David was born and raised in St. Thomas, Ontario, the son of Edith and Edward Wadley (born in London, England) and brother to Ted, Jack, Gerry and Robin.

David matriculated at staff - college for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Toronto and began his career as assistant manager and then bank manager in the Niagara Peninsula. At one time, he was a member of the Niagara Falls Lions Club and often spoke of the time he escorted leader of the opposition, John Diefenbaker, to a political function.

While working in Port Colborne, David met Joanna Louschall. They married in 1957 and had two children, Matthew and Lezlie. David’s work relocated the family to Belleville, Lakefield and King City. David left the bank in 1967 and became vice-president of a transportation firm until relocating back to Niagara Falls and working until his retirement for Niagara Block Co.

In 1977, Joanna passed away, and David met and married Elsie. They shared a love of gardening, curling, politics, baseball and travelling. They often fondly remembered cruises they took and had a particular love for Bermuda.

David was known for his positive outlook on life, his enjoyment for Jazz music, his wit, his love of family and his strong belief in God. He tried to see the best in everyone and was quick to strike up a conversation with friends and strangers alike. This rare and wonderful quality left a lasting impression on everyone who met him, even in his last week of life. He leaves a legacy of love, tolerance, and faith.

David is lovingly remembered by his wife, Elsie, and his brother Robin (Mary Jane) Wadley, sisters-in-law Marion, Joan, and Sue. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten by daughter Lezlie Wade (Kevin Etherington), son Matthew (Margaret) Wadley, step-sons Chuck (Lori) Shafley, Tim (Laurie) Shafley, step-daughters, Paula (Ray) Ward, Nancy (Jim) Kennedy and his many nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.
