Obituary of John David 'Dave' Mistele

Mistele, John David (Dave) (1930-2015) passed peacefully at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Chatham on Saturday November 21st, 2015. He is remembered with much love by his family; Audrey his wife of more than sixty years, his four children and ten grandchildren, Pam (Steve) Brock, Meghan, Connor, Mel (Pat) Brett, Craig, John (Marg) Jonathan, Brand, Matt, Rob (Marie France) Jack, Julia. We will miss his stead-fast love, his smile and whistle, his enjoyment of friends and the many educators we were privileged to meet over the years. Following graduation from the University of Western Ontario and Teacher's College (1953) he taught at the Chatham Vocational School - was the Principal of CVS, the first Principal of Chatham-Kent Secondary School, then on to administration and ultimately Director of Education. We are so very grateful to Dr. Jacquelin Wolting for her understanding and treatment of Dave and all members of our family and to the kind nurses on duty. Cremation and a private family gathering has taken place. A Celebration of Dave's Life will take place at the Chatham Cultural Centre (former location of Chatham Vocational School) at a future date.
