December 20, 2023
David Edward Southmayd passed away peacefully on March 26, 2021, at the Montreal General Hospital, at the age of 75.
Born to Charles and Winnifred Southmayd, David fell in love with literature at an early age. He lit that same spark in his students during his long tenure as a professor of English at Vanier College, where he led the teachers' union and helped helm the school's prestigious Liberal Arts Department.
