Former Town of Elmira Councillor
Community mourns death of Elmira funeral director David Dreisinger

Friends of David Dreisinger described him as a well-respected and caring individual who would help anyone. Dreisinger, 76, died Tuesday, Nov. 9 at K-W Hospital. He was born in Elmira on Nov. 7, 1917. He was a third-generation funeral director, who, according to close friends, learned the business from his grandfather, Chris Dreisinger. David Dreisinger obtained his funeral director's licence in 1938. He was a former member of Elmira town council from 1956 to 1959. Elmira town council was in existence prior to the region taking over in 1973 and forming the current Woolwich township. At the time Dreisinger was on council, each term was for one year. Dreisinger served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the second world-war. He was a member of the Elmira Kiwanis club, the Elmira Legion, and of the Masonic lodge. During the remembrance-day dinner at the Legion on Thursday, there was a moment of silence in memory of Dreisinger. Eddie Bearinger, of Elmira described his friend since childhood, as "very sincere. He was very meticulous. If he said 'I will meet you at a certain time,' he meant it. David would help out many people. He was always there to lend a helping hand, but he did not want people to know about it. He was a man behind the scenes. He was very well respected especially by the Old Order Mennonites. David knew their customs. He knew how to conduct a funeral," Bearinger said. Ernie Kendall of Elmira, taught Dreisinger. "He was one of those students who always asked questions, as any student should. In later years, he was a neighbour. David and his wife were great friends of ours." Kendall said that the Dreisinger family has done "a great job" when it comes to funerals as there has been no competition. "The Dreisinger name is very well known and respected," he said. Kendall continued that his long-time friend was "very proud of Elmira. David thought a great deal about the town." Kendall and Bearinger said that Dreisinger was a supporter of local events. "If there was a special need, or a gift was needed, David would give, but asked that his name not be used." Another long-time friend, Bette Musselman, of Elmira, also described him as "a true friend. He was always there when I really needed him. I'll always remember what he did for me when Art died." He was the husband of Eileen Thorpe; father of John and his wife, Susan, of Elmira; Colleen and her husband, Frank Zanetti, of Battle Creek, Michigan; brother of Hazel (Mrs. Donald Brown), of Elmira; also survived by five grandchildren. Burial was in Elmira Union cemetery. Donations to Gale Presbyterian church or St. James Lutheran church, both of Elmira, would be appreciated.
