David was a dedicated volunteer and advocate for public health care. His welcoming demeanour and thoughtful participation were assets to the
Waterloo Region Health Coalition. We will miss him.
David passed away peacefully at Waterloo Regional Health Network Chicopee (formerly Grand River Hospital Freeport Campus) on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at the age of 83.
He is survived by his wife Mary Jackes, his children Anne Elizabeth Vo Lubell, Christopher Tran Lubell and Claire Megan Lubell, his grandson Kai Elliott Niker-Lubell, his daughters’ partners Jordan Paul Marsh and Giscard Niker de Toki and his brother Stephen Lubell.
David was predeceased by his parents Cecil Lubell and Winifred Milius Lubell.
David was born in Boston, Mass., and grew up in Croton on Hudson, NY. He was educated there and at Columbia University (B.A. 1964). After a brief period of working in publishing in Philadelphia, he decided to devote himself to prehistoric archaeology. He received his PhD from Columbia for a thesis on Late Palaeolithic material from Upper Egypt (1971).
