David Stanton “ Zack” Gould, born November 26, 1945 in Worcester, Massachusetts, died December 29, 2024.

Zack spent five years at Williston Academy where he lettered in soccer and lacrosse. He attended the University of Massachusetts and settled in Woods Hole, Massachusetts long enough to become a skilled, and eventually, itinerant mason. Zack lived in Cambridge until an amiable divorce prompted moving to Santa Fe, where he got married, acquiring two fine daughters as well as his wife, Mechele. Along with fireplaces, he became a skillful jeweler and was fine guitar player.

Lung and bone cancer did him in. It is not a cliche to state that he died surrounded by his family without undue pain.
