David Beamish, president of DeFelsko Corporation died peacefully at home on Nov. 4, 2019. He died with his family by his side at the age of 63 after a 32-month battle with cancer. Born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, David studied Civil Engineering at Carleton University where he earned his Bachelor of Engineering. He joined the Bell telephone company after graduation, ultimately becoming recognized as a professional engineer. In his spare time, he ran his own software development company and pursued his passion for flying powered and unpowered (glider) aircraft. It was while volunteering as a gliding instructor that he met his wife of 32 years, Linda. After marrying, they left their respective professional careers to join DeFelsko, a small distributor and manufacturer of testing instrumentation with fewer than 10 employees started by David’s father-in-law, Frank Koch. During David’s time at DeFelsko, he was responsible for its worldwide sales and distribution channels, while contributing significantly to new product development and associated marketing initiatives. He chaired and participated in many industry committees, including ASTM, SSPC, and NACE and actively worked to improve the standards and processes of the industry for the benefit of all stakeholders. David’s incredible combination of an analytical mind, congenial personality, strong work ethic, and an innate ability to educate, greatly influenced the company he ran and the relationships it developed. He traveled the world developing DeFelsko’s distributor network, educating users, and furthering the company’s reach. His ability to communicate with his colleagues, industry contacts, and end-users set David apart from his peers. He gained a comprehensive understanding of what the market required and inspired the DeFelsko team to meet those industry needs. During David’s 31-year tenure at DeFelsko, the company has grown significantly, and today DeFelsko employs over 90 employees, has distribution in nearly every country, and is a leader in the inspection equipment industry. The DeFelsko team has lost a beloved and honest friend who will be greatly missed by our entire staff and business partners around the world. Linda Beamish, David’s wife, and DeFelsko founder Frank Koch’s daughter, has assumed David’s role as President after 31 years working alongside David in her previous role as VP. David’s son Michael assumes responsibilities as VP and GM. Service details.
