SELICK, DAVID HERMAN - On Friday, September 14, 2012. Born on March 13, 1918 to parents Pearl and Benjamin Selick, in Saint John, N.B., he resided in Place Kensington, Montreal. He was predeceased by his sisters Mary and Helen and brother Morris. He is survived by his beloved sisters Ida Sussman, Hamilton, Ont. and Jean Zlatin Halifax NS and a number of nieces and nephews in Ontario, Nova Scotia and Ohio. David joined the Royal Canadian Navy in the 1940's during wartime. Upon his return he pursued a diverse and very successful career in sales. Interaction with people was a strength which he thrived upon. David had a strong interest in business and their successes. He enjoyed reading and loved talking about financial, political, and philosophical matters. Yet, he was an artist at heart, painting and playing the violin. He was a beacon of honesty and straight forwardness. David made it a long way from the tracks and felt that he had obtained an MBA of Life.
