David N. Forcier

Dave was my first friend after moving from Gonic to Rochester, NH in 1955. I worked with him at my first job at Arthur's Mkt. He was an inspiration to me. He burned the midnight oil while attending UNH. We travelled together in a new 1960 Corvair with another engineer friend. When he was a new second lieutenant I had just graduated from the Army Language School and we happened to meet in Rochester catching up with lots of stories. Dave was stationed in an armored outfit and his Battalion Commander was Gen. Patton's son. He had a distinguished military career and achieved the rank of Full Bird Colonel. He was a wonderful man, a true Prince Amongst Men!! Old soldiers never die and they'll all meet in Heaven.

So sad to read about Dave´s passing. What an amazing man and friend to so many people! I knew Dave during my time at ACTS first as Client Support Services Manager and then as Client Support Services Director. I can honestly say that everyone who knew Dave at ACTS, Loved Dave! When I would arrive at work, I knew it would be a great day if his little red car was parked in the side lot! He had such a passion for helping at the food pantry! And every client who received assistance from Dave, left with a smile on their face. Even if they were grumpy from a long line, Dave would have them smiling by the time their groceries were in his car! I will ALWAYS be thankful that I crossed paths with him for those 5 years, and I send love and condolences to your family as you remember and mourn Dave! I always said, "he is such a force of nature!" Playing off his las name lol. I am sure I am not the first, nor the last to make that comparison
