WARD, David Emerson

On Sunday, May 24, 2020, at Dunedin Hospital; in his 80th year.

Dearly loved husband of Sheila, beloved Dad of Lizz and Matt, loving, proud and ever attentive Grandad of Lucy, Paige, and Cooper, loved brother, brother-in-law and uncle of family in Canada.

Much respected and fondly remembered colleague of the Philosophy Department at the University of Otago.

David agreed with Spinoza that “the wise man thinks on nothing so little as death” and he showed us all how to live a happy life as we were guided by his “delight in the contemplation of beautiful things”.

A private farewell has taken place and a memorial service will be held at a date to be advised.

The family are now respectfully declining flowers but would welcome donations to the Pûtea Tautoko Student Hardship Fund at https://alumni.otago.ac.nz/donate/student-hardship.
