In Memoriam: Longtime Fair Havenite Dave McKissock, 90

Longtime Fair Havenite David Lee McKissock passed away on June 2. He was 90.

A Boston native, Dave graduated from Milton Academy and went on to receive an undergraduate degree from Middlebury College where he met his wife, Diana, of 67 years.

“Dave and Diana lived most of their lives in Fair Haven, where they raised their two sons. After proudly serving in the Navy, Dave spent his entire career in sales at
American Flange and Manufacturing Co..
Dave was well known for his athleticism and love of sports — golf, tennis, baseball, football, and most of all, the game of platform tennis (paddle ball). He and Diana helped grow and promote the game tremendously at the Rumson, Sea Bright and Navesink clubs. Dave won multiple club championships over the years.”
