Judy, Cutler and family, Our deepest sympathy to you all. Praying for your hearts to be comforted by the God of all comfort. May HE keep you close. Love, The Bello family

Dear Judy, Cutler and family I am so sorry to hear of David´s passing. Like many others I don´t think I have been able to fully process it yet. He was a great firefighter, EMT, person, husband, father and most of all friend. As you know, he was my first fulltime appointment to the Barre City Fire Department after I took over. I never regretted it for a minute. As his Chief I can say he was an extremely loyal and trustworthy member of my crew, he always did whatever he was told to do...

I will never forget the many trips to Dunkin´ Donuts for coffee and then tea after every ambulance call no matter what time of day it was! Dave was a great friend and partner in the fire house! Rest in peace brother!

I can remember those long 3rd shift foot patrols. Your wedding day was so special. Thank you for your service and your undying dedication to the City of Barre. Rest easy my friend we will see each other on the other side.

Sorry for your loss Prayers to u and your family Carol Muzzy

David joined our family when he married my cousin Judy. He was greatly loved by all of us, and I was so saddened to hear of his passing. Much love to Judy, Cutler, and the rest of the family. You will be greatly missed, David. Love you.

When I was in grade school at Websterville Baptist Christian School in Websterville VT, Dave was there almost every morning and he always made me feel special every time I saw him. I don´t think he ever knew how much that meant to me, but that was also one of the most special things about it, because he didn´t want any kind of recognition or praise, he just truly loved making people happy. I believe that is a very good representation of Dave´s character; humble, kind, and full of love for...

RIP our neighbor! It was great to see you at community events and your efforts did not go unnoticed by others. You will be missed

I remember a trip Dave and Judy made to California. We joined with our cousin Gail Eldridge to have dinner in Oakland. It was a fun night, there was a jar of Vietnamese snake wine displayed prominently above the bar. Food and company were great. Dave pointed out Jerry Brown (then Oakland mayor) was sitting at the next table. He was a definitely fun cousin who shall be missed! Trevor and I offer deepest condolences to Judy and Cutler.
