In Celebration of

David Flaherty

August 25, 1948 - July 8, 2017

David passed away in the early morning on July 8th after a strong fight with cancer. He was surrounded by beloved friends and family during his last days. He is survived by his wife Jayne Eastwood, his children Olivia, Alicia and Dave Flaherty and his cherished grandchildren Danica (5), Robin (4) and Luke (1). He was beloved by his siblings, nieces & nephews, and friends.

He was a long time comedy writer (SCTV, Maniac Mansion) and professor of comedy writing at Humber College.

A Funeral Mass will be held Saturday July 15th at St. James Parish, 728 Annette St. Toronto, at 11AM. A celebration of life will immediately follow in the church parish.

Dear Jayne and Olivia, Alicia and Davey. We were so sorry to hear that you've lost David. He was a dear sweet man and the world is colder and sadder without him. We are having a Mass said by the monks of Belmont Abbey now and again on the next feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes. Love Gerry and Katherine
