The Tryon Family, I just found out about Dave. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. We will all miss him dearly. He was a wonderful man who will always be remembered for his big heart. I loved working with him at the Pines Community Center when we were on the Board. The Children of the Tilton/Northfield area are better for the work of Dave Tryon.

Nancy and family:

It has been a long time since we have seen you and your family. However, we will always remember David's generous heart and sense of humor at the 300 club dinners. I will also remember the times we shared at the Knights of Columbus and other activities at St. Joseph parish. Our deepest sympathy.

Nancy and Family,

I am so saddened to hear of your loss. I first met David when he was my patient at Franklin Hospital in 1990. I can still hear his laugh from way down the hall as he watched "Cheers." Even though I moved away to Montana, he sent me a Christmas letter every year keeping me up to date on you and the children. He was such an asset to his community, but first and foremost his family was his pride and joy. He will be remembered by all those who knew him as the gentle, caring and loving person he was to everyone he touched with his smile and heart.
My heart and prayers are with you all at this sad time in your life.

While Dave was a dad to three children, countless children were touched by his kindness and guidance. He was a friend, mentor and all around great man. He will be missed by more people than I am sure he even realized. Thinking of you all.

David touched so many people in this community. every time I spoke with David he would leave me with some word of wisdom that I would carry with me. David was an advocate and friend to my sons. We are so thankful to have known David. He will be missed. God bless, Nancy, Roger, Karen, and Kathleen.
