David Gerard York passed away peacefully in his home on October 12, 2020, due to complications from Parkinson’s Disease. He was 74 years old.
Born and raised in Boston, David was the youngest child of Raymond J. York and Eileen V. (Manson) York. David is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Carol Slilaty, his son Matthew D. York and his wife Beth, and his daughter, Christine R. (York) Falk and her husband Douglas all of Pembroke. Beloved “Papa” of his grandsons, Douglas “Jason” Falk, Jr.
David was a man of few words, but when he spoke, his dry sense of humor and profound wisdom always brought a smile to our faces.
David was an avid reader, golfer, Boston sports fan, professional napper, and lover of sweets. David’s enthusiasm for music was as much of an inspiration as it was contagious, and he shared that enthusiasm with his children, as well as his nieces and nephews. He spent endless hours going to clubs to watch his son, Matt, perform music with his daughter, Christine, by his side. As recently as last month, David was discovering new music.
In 2005, David was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. He and his family embraced the diagnosis and lived life to its fullest. The support of Carol, Christine and Matt, as well as his sisters-in-law and their families, was especially remarkable. David’s last few weeks of life were a gift to all of our families, as caring for him brought us closer and left us all with a lasting bond.
