David Douglas Mooberry of Kennett Square David Douglas Mooberry, 88, died on Sunday Jan 1st, 2017 at his home in Kendal at Longwood in Kennett Square, PA.
He was born in 1928 in Denver but moved to Chicago in 1932.
He was unfortunate in growing up almost in the shadow of Wrigley field and thus becoming a Cubs fan suffered decades of disappointment.
But now! Dave graduated from Grinnell College in 1950 and from Purdue University, with a PhD in Organic Chemistry, in 1954.
In 1953 he married FM Gilpin and they enjoyed 62 years of life together before she died in 2015.
FM and Dave moved east in 1954 where Dave joined the DuPont Company.
A 34-year career at DuPont provided unlimited opportunities leading away from the laboratory to such activities as running the “Prettiest Legs at the 1964 Worlds Fair” contest and exploring for oil and gas in a joint venture with Conoco.
His career provided the chance to share life with a host of wonderful companions.
After retirement, Dave from DuPont and FM from The Brandywine Conservancy, they traveled the world.
FM also continued her commitment to native plants and Dave expanded his sailing adventures amassing some 25,000 off-shore miles spanning from Nova Scotia to Bermuda and south to the Caribbean & Honduras.
A mostly constant crew of dedicated, fun and capable friends often included his son Doug.
They did win their share of races.
FM and Dave were among the founders of Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research in 1976 and Dave was on the Board of Directors and President for many years.
There was also fun with sailplanes.
The arts were not to be missed and he enjoyed and served on the Boards of The Kennett Symphony and People’s Light & Theatre Company.
Somewhere in there was time for trips to Alaska fly-fishing for rainbows and silver salmon.
A daughter Susan, now a respected cancer researcher, and son Douglas, you may have some Kinloch furniture, made for a fun and loving family that was joined by daughter-in-law Pat Pusey and son-in-law Greg Paterson and soon 2 handsome granddaughters and 2 brilliant grandsons; or is it the other way around.
A memorial service will be held in the spring at Kendal at Longwood.
Memorial contributions in his memory may be sent to Kendal at Longwood for The Natural Areas Fund or the Reserve Fund, PO Box 100, Kennett Square, PA 19348.
Please take time to enjoy life! He did!
Arrangements are by Kuzo & Grieco Funeral Home (610-444-4116) of Kennett Square.
