elevated 559Ze Obituary

elevated 559Ze David Arthur Gissing was born on September 17, 1936 to William and Annie Gissing in Harrogate, Yorkshire, England. He had a humble upbringing with one brother and two sisters – Eric, Maureen, and Joyce.

elevated 559Ze At the peak of his profession he was the Chief Engineer of Hong Kong Electric, through its coal and nuclear power generation. Engineering certainly represented his character and passion, as a life-long hobbyist of locomotives, building model train sets, waking up early each morning to watch, wave, and catalogue the trains and railcars that rode by. David was a loving, humorous, intelligent, logical, and polished individual – a true gentlemen as fits the definition – sprinkling everyone with English humour and short stories.

elevated 559Ze Left to honour David and remember his love are three siblings, four children, grandkids and beloved wife of 37 years – Catherine.
