He earned an associate's degree in accounting from Bentley College and held various accounting positions, with the most notable being the comptroller for Weeks Memorial Hospital in Lancaster and most recent, as an auditor for the state of New Hampshire. David was always active in the Episcopal Church and served as a lay reader often. During his retirement, he became involved with St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church in Dunbarton and, with the assistance of his wife and several others, helped the small church regain its congregation and financial stability. Earlier in life, he participated in Boy Scouts as a scoutmaster and helped many scouts learn to love the outdoors as he did. David hiked and walked for years and was a very active walker in his retirement. He also participated in the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk for several years and even doubled the 5-mile walk to 10 just to challenge himself. David also loved trains. In his earlier years, he was an active railroader and owner of the Cinder Valley Railroad, one of many model railroads of the day. He traded passes and information with model railroading clubs and built his own engines, cars and scenery. It was his love of trains that carried him through his final years as he passionately began resurrecting the Cinder Valley Railroad. He is missed greatly by his loving and devoted wife of 57 years, Beverley; his brother, Francis; daughter, Janet; son, Robert, and wife, Claudia; daughter-in-law, Deborah; and grandchildren, Jody Lynn and Todd Robert. He was predeceased by his son David Gary. His family would like to thank everyone who has helped care for David over the last few years. The love and attention he has received from all of the staff at Presidential Oaks and the Concord Dialysis center will always be remembered and meant a great deal to David. He spoke of you often and with great fondness.
