Avis de décès de David-E. McClure

David Eugene McClure, 66, of Harvard, MA, died unexpectedly on November 15th, 2011. David was born on May 9th, 1945 and grew up in Wellsville, NY. He attended the University of Rochester. He was a Senior Consulting Engineer who had a long career with Digital Equipment Corporation, subsequently Compaq Corporation and Hewlett Packard. David loved cooking, woodworking, gardening, and sewing: hobbies he shared freely with all of his children. His family will treasure the gifts he made and presented to them on special occasions. He also loved music, especially opera. His true home was on Lake Winnipesaukee, where he spent as much time as possible. Boating was one of his passions, and he would take the Sunfish or kayak out on days when anyone else would have been sitting by the fire. David's children remember fondly the joyful summers they spent with him in Wolfeboro and cherish the love and humor he shared in every moment. He was always willing to do whatever it took to help them: from giving a ride to cooking a duck to providing a job. David was predeceased by his parents, Theodore McClure and Elsbeth Riggs, and his two brothers, Philip and John. He will be missed by his children, Sean, Tara, Hilary, Joseph, Winifred, John, Emily and Morgan and his grandchildren, Elizabeth, Justin, William, Theodore, James, Joseph and Jaxon, and by Susan and Lydia, his two former wives, as well as by Terri Whitney, his partner of ten years. A memorial service will be held at Trinity Chapel in Shirley, MA, at 11 AM on Saturday, December 10th, followed by a reception at Lydia's home in Groton. Memorial contributions may be made to the Arnold Arboretum or WBUR.
