David Rumery Obituary
He graduated from Wilton academy in 1964 and worked in shoe shops his entire life where he met and married the love of his life, Joyce Bickford. David enjoyed being the maintenance man and "keeping all the women in line". He retired from Bass Shoe in Wilton when it closed. When he wasn't working, he could be found enjoying all the Maine woods have to offer. Whether hunting, fishing, hiking or just out for a walk, the woods were where he felt at peace.
David is survived by three daughters, Cherie West and husband, Richard of Madison, Lynn Button and husband, Paul of New Castle, Pa., Deb LaVoie and husband, Kenneth of Winslow, two sons, David Rumery and wife, Julie of Norman Okla., Michael Rumery and wif, Jen of Winslow; sister, Lura Whitney and husband, Gerald of Wilton; five grandsons, Randy McMullen and wife, Erica of Farmingdale, Alex McMullen of Farmingdale, Dustin West of Auburn, Joseph and Calvin Rumery of Norman, Okla.; three granddaughters, Amelie Button and Shawna Rumery of New Castle, Pa., Elissa LaVoie of Winslow; great-grandchildren, Grayson and Quinn McMullen of Farmingdale.
He was predeceased by his parents, Margaret and Clifford; wife, Joyce; and great-granddaughter, Aslinn Rumery.
The family would like to send a heart-felt thank you to Beacon Hospice for the exceptional care they provided. Tammy, Lynn and Blake. Dad always looked forward to your visits.
A private family gathering will be held in the summer.
Arrangements under the direction and care of Dan & Scott's Cremation & Funeral Service, 445 Waterville Road, Skowhegan, ME 04976.

May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn," strengthen you during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1, 2. May you hold love and treasured memories close to your heart. God has heard your prayers and has seen your tears (2Kings 20:5). Offering my deepest condolences
