David was employed at the Glace Bay fisheries and later worked in Ontario with the Mississauga municipality and Alberta as a member of International Laborers Union as a construction laborer. David was known for his desire to lend a hand to those in most need. His charm and sense of humour was most desiring, as you were sure to remember his beautiful blue eyes. David will be most remembered for his loyalty to his family and friends because he was a person that we could all rely upon. David was especially entertained by the stories of the neighborhood children. David was a very dedicated son to his mother “Trudy” as he never missed a day without a phone call or visit. One of David’s favorite sayings was “this is me, is that you”! Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be held on Saturday, July 23, 2016 at 10:00 am in Immaculate Conception Church, Bridgeport, with Father Daniel Boudreau officiating.
