David Greer Obituary

David F. Greer
October 20, 1936 - June 24, 2025
Beloved Brother, Uncle, Veteran, and Master Printer
David F. Greer, age 88, passed away peacefully on June 24th, 2025 at Hartford Hospital.
David grew up in Milford, Connecticut, and went on to serve his country with distinction as a Navy helicopter pilot. During his military service, he was honored with the Sikorsky Winged-S Rescue Award, recognizing his bravery and skill in life-saving missions. After his time in the Navy, he continued his aviation career as a commercial pilot, achieving Captain status before retiring.
David's lifelong passion was Letterpress Printing-a craft he pursued with extraordinary dedication. At one time, David had the largest wooden type collection in North America-an unparalleled archive of printing history that reflected his deep love and respect for the art form. He was a longtime and active member of the Amalgamated Printers' Association (APA), as well as a longtime participant of Wayzgoose.
David is survived by his longtime friend and roommate, Michael Ziel; his brother, George Greer; his sister, Christine Russell; his nieces, Elizabeth McCoy, Alysan Niles, Alisa Robinson, and Elida Nosenzo; and his nephews, Christopher Gideon, James Niles, and Edward Nosenzo.
David was predeceased by his sisters, Margaret Nosenzo and Norma Millett.
David will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and loving him. His generosity of spirit, remarkable life of service and skill, and unwavering dedication to preserving the legacy of traditional Letterpress Printing leave an enduring mark on all who knew him.
