Solomon David Bour

November 27, 2020

Solomon David Bour (who went by David), of Lakewood Ranch Florida, passed away peacefully on November 27, 2020 at the age of 78. For two years, he fought like a warrior against cancer and refused to let it deter him from going out the way he wanted to; by spending his remaining moments in the comfort of his own home, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1942, David was a member of the National Guard and attended College at CW Post where he met his future wife, Joan. Married for 54 years, they adopted and raised three amazing kids, who they lovingly supported and encouraged to achieve their life goals. For 20 years, he helped run his family’s retail business in Oxford, Pennsylvania, until 1985, when he moved his wife and kids to Florida and started a successful glass business in the Orlando area. In 2015, he and his wife, Joan, moved further south to Sarasota, where he continued working in sales right up until the very end. His hobbies included traveling with his family, playing golf, collecting fine art, and in his remaining months, he loved playing Canasta with friends on his iPad. David is survived by his wife, Joan, his three children, Elliot, Beth and Marci, his sons-in-law Walter and James, and his three grandchildren, Riley, Hailee and Harlow (with grandchild #4 on the way!).
