Contributed photoDavid Dizbrow Squires, known to many as “Diz,” passed away Oct.  8 in Phoenix, Ariz,, with his family nearby. He was 86. Born at home in Norwalk on New Year’s Day 1923, he spent most of his life in Norwalk and Westport. He graduated from Norwalk High in 1940, next attending UConn, where he swam on the swim team coached by his brother John, and, graduated with a B.A.. His lifelong love of trains and railroading suited him well in the Army, where he served with the 728th Railway Battalion in the United States, France, Belgium, England and Germany, responsible for moving troops and supplies throughout Europe.  His passion for trains continued through his life where he spent his entire career working in Connectcut for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, Penn Central, Conrail, and Metro-North. He traveled throughout the country exclusively by rail, from the early days of steam engines, through today’s modern rail service. After having four children, the family moved to Greens Farms in 1968. He was an active, lifelong member of the First Congregational Church of South Norwalk and West Norwalk Congregational Church, where he was awarded Deacon Emeritus. He was a 50-plus year member with the Stamford Model Railroad Club, National Railway Historical Society, Connecticut Blood Bank, and his church choir. He loved the Westport YMCA for swimming and aqua fitness as well as the Westport Senior Center for the food and friendships. He was a lover of the great outdoors, the National Park System, and was an avid camper in his earlier years, having traveled to 48 of the 50 states. He was predeceased by his daughter Jan, and his brother John. He is survived by his wife Kay of Augusta, Maine, son Scott and wife Vera and their boys Owen and Wyatt of Phoenix, son David and wife Arlene and her children Leah, Matt and Daniel of Westport, daughter Martha and husband Tom and their children Dan and Katy of Winsor, Maine. The family held a service to celebrate the joy of his life in Arizona where he finally retired. He will be remembered by his family and many friends for his constant smile and insatiable appetite. Donations may be made in his name to the Westport Weston Family Y. As noted in his Norwalk High School yearbook…we wish him a clear track ahead.
