HA&L Biographical Sketch
David Forsee
 David Hutchison Forsee [1944-2017]
David’s work history included everything from working in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Northern Service, to running his own log hauling business in Northwestern Ontario, and to living in a Yoga Ashram in British Columbia. But, he said, it was his experience with the trucks that later made driving the Hamilton Public Library Bookmobile a natural next step—that and his love of a good read.
David's Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis lead him to request Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) and he passed away pain-free in February 2017. David transformed us and he transformed Hamilton Arts & Letters magazine. HAL Contributing Editor since 2013. Guest Editor for Issue nine.2. Featured Memoirs in ASYLUM issue 10.1. He is fiercely missed.
“I have written minutely of much that we did, for it was my wish that somewhere there should be a memorial of it all, and I have done my best to set down the character of the people about me so that some record of us might live after us, for the like of us will never be again.”
– An t-Oileánach by Tomás Ó Criomhthain, final chapter.
