On Aug 4 you were called home. Something none of us were ready for. Our hearts ache as you were such a loving, caring, charismatic, person. So generous with the time you would spend making everyone feel so special and teaching ag. to those next to you. At 79 you were still haying. You took such good care of Mom and we tried to do the same for you even with miles between us. You were always close to us and I admire that you were excited to meet Jesus and be with Mom again 2 days after your 43rd anniversary she called you home. I feel selfish for wanting to have you here with us but know there is no suffering in heaven. You worked from 9 logging, onto commercial and local growing of vegetables, growing the best horse hay the area has ever had, found time to run some pretty special racehorses, and also deer hunting. I have so many memories and the Fryeburg Fair what you and Mom looked forward to the most is only 51 days away. I am sure your view will be a fine one this year. I will cherish every memory of you. It is so special for a man to live a life as you have working for NO ONE else and maintaining a happy farmers lifestyle. Love You Always. Laney and Keith

I can still hear the sound of David's bucket loaded tractor with the heavy chains after a snow storm coming to plow my driveway out. One of the kindest men I knew. A real loss for Clarksburg.

Our deepest condolences on the passing of Dave. Always enjoyed his visit when delivering hay. Always had a smile. One year I gave all the guys freeze pops after the hay was put away. Dave had never had one! Thought they were great! Thoughts and prayers, Nancy Torres
