David McCarthy Obituary
David grew up in Merrimack, NH. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, gardening, traveling, eating frozen yogurt and driving to the beach in his Jeep as often as he could.
David worked most of his life in the circuit board industry and owned and operated his own circuit board manufacturing company, ABC Fabricators, in Laconia, NH. Then his career took a different path where he became a Sales Professional for Bonneville & Son, Quirk Kia, and Merchants Motors. He was tenacious and hardworking.
David is survived by his loving wife Gisele, his son Brendon McCarthy and his wife Allyson, and his daughter Amanda McCarthy. He leaves behind two brothers, a sister, nieces and nephews and many friends he has met along the way who helped him get to where he was today and for that, we thank you.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your favorite charity. Funeral services will be private.

Dear Gisele and family, I was shaken to hear of David's death. You and he have been cheated of so many more years of happiness. I am David's cousin. David and I reconnected on Facebook a few years ago and I enjoyed our exchanges. David's last message to me a few weeks ago was that he hoped that the two of us would meet in person again one day. I am sad that this will never happen.

Dear Gisele, Brendon, Allyson, and Amanda: Please accept our heartfelt sympathy in your loss. My (Mary's) Dad died from his first heart attack at 60, when I was 28 and my Mom was just 58. We remember those early days of shock and sorrow from a loss that was just too early, too sudden, too much. I hope it helps you to hear from us that it does get better. Time does heal. You'll miss him, but knowing how deeply he loved you all will always give you comfort. *His eyes shone brightest when looking at you- or talking about you, bursting with pride and joy.* With many warm memories of you all, we are so very sorry and are here if you need us. Love and prayers,

Dear McCarthy family, I was shocked and saddened to read in the paper this morning of Dave's passing. He was a wonderful guy, always a pleasure to chat with or sit next to. For a while he joined our Rotary Club and was universally liked. I have missed seeing him during these terrible times and now will have to keep him in happy memories. My sympathies and prayers to you all. Peter Labombarde, Bedford NH

David, I picked up a rock this morning down at Glen Lake, Goffstown to add to my Prayer rock on Locust Hill Rd as many people who were somebody I want to remember I have a rock for them. In your case this rock is just until l get to Hampton Beach to get one of the kind of rocks you have given me over the years, Working with you has been a wisdom fulfilling experience, thank you for sharing your work life with me. You will be missed. You will forever be remembered at my jogging stops at "the Prayer Rock" Your Friend Tim aka Superman! Still remember you commented to me upon learning about my Superman antics. "Didn't get enough attention when you were a child!" That was so funny to me. .

Gisele, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and your family also. I am heartbroken. I hope you remember how much joy David and our friendship brought to me. I was happy to help him through his first few years of his"new life". Whether we were taking down that old pool in your backyard, playing frisbee on Hampton Beach, or just casually talking outside of our meeting , I will never forget the laughs and the good times that we shared. I'm not sure if Dave had told you that I moved to Colorado in March. I was devastated to hear this news from my friends in New Hampshire. I don't know what else to say. I am so happy though that we have a God of our understanding that will help us through this difficult time.
