J. David Mustin, 53, accountant, coach

J. David Mustin, 53, of Ambler, a certified public accountant who was chief financial officer for Beaumont Retirement Community in Bryn Mawr, died of kidney cancer Thursday, Sept. 8, at Abington Hospice in Warminster.

Mr. Mustin joined Beaumont in 1989, a year after it was established as a resident-owned and -governed retirement community.

"He had an accountant's personality. He was thoughtful and quiet, but he had a sense of humor and was fun to be around," said Joseph Fortenbaugh, Beaumont's president and chief executive officer, who also has been at Beaumont since 1989.

Mr. Mustin served ex-officio on Beaumont's board and worked with the finance committee. He knew the residents, and they were fond of him, Fortenbaugh said.

A native of Swarthmore, Mr. Mustin graduated from Ridley High School. He earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from West Chester University. While at Beaumont, he earned a master's degree in business from Temple University.

He met Deborah Ann Liss when she visited Beaumont as an auditor for Blue Cross. They married in 1991.

Mr. Mustin was a coach for Whitpain Township Little League and served on the board of the Wissahickon Skating Club, where his children played ice hockey.

He was a Flyers, Eagles, and Phillies fan and attended many games, his wife said.

He enjoyed socializing with their neighbors in Broad Axe Village in Ambler, she said, and spending time with his family at the Jersey Shore.

In addition to his wife, Mr. Mustin is survived by a daughter, Julia; sons J. David II and Nicholas; and two sisters.
