David Brian Baum

Ontario:  Passed away on Sunday, December 13, 2015 at the age of 59.  David was born in York, Pennsylvania on April 30, 1956 to the late George and Lois "Grandstaff" Baum.  Besides his parents, David was predeceased by his brother Todd Baum.  He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Pamella; children, Rose (Brandon) Sartin, Karl (Lauren) Baum and Luke Baum; Grandchildren, Jonah, Zora, Ruben Sartin and Kory Baum; brothers, Gregory (Celine) Baum and Kevin (Karen) Baum; sister, Vicki (Michael) Mihm, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

David loved his family and especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.  David was retired from Xerox where he had been the manager of many project teams that had focused primarily on high volume scanning.  He loved trees, potted plants, and outdoor yardwork. His yard has a number of various species of plant life.  In addition to enjoying plants, David was a handyman; his projects ranged from remodeling the homes of his children to repairing his grandchildren's frequently broken toys. He had a collection of matchbox cars that he kept in their original boxes but would pull out for the grandchildren's pleasure.  He lived his life surrounded by love and died surrounded by love. He will be missed by all.
