CHESTERFIELD – David Kielson, whose work as an accountant and volunteer had a large impact on western Massachusetts, died Dec. 31 of COVID-19. He was 85 years old.
“He always felt like he wanted to contribute to the local community,” said Leslie Kielson, his youngest daughter.
Kielson moved to Chesterfield in 1983, following a career as an accountant in New Rochelle, N.Y. He did so with his wife, Gail, after their three daughters had left home.
