David K Pinsonneault

David Keith Pinsonneault, Esq.

Noted Nashua Attorney Dies Aged 74

David K. Pinsonneault, of Amherst, NH, passed away peacefully on December 11, 2025, after a prolonged illness surrounded by his loving family. David is survived by his wife of fifty years, Barbara (Brown); his three sons Robert, Gregory, and Mark; his grandchildren Autumn, Emily, Alana, and Alexander; his brother Randall Pinsonneault; and his stepmother Mary (Emberley) Pinsonneault. David was 74.

Dave Pinsonneault was born on May 10, 1951, in Manchester, NH, to Robert R. and Georgette (Montplaisir) Pinsonneault. He is an alumnus of Saint Anselm College ('73) and Franklin Pierce Law Center ('77). His studies in politics at St. A's and then law at what is now UNH School of Law brought him around the state of New Hampshire and the world, giving him experience and perspective that he would employ both in his career as a lawyer (his life-long dream) and as an adored father and grandfather.

Dave ran a successful and respected law practice as a partner with Winer and Bennett for over 40 years. Practicing law was his passion, which he continued until just recently when his health would no longer allow him to serve his clients the way he always had - with expert diligence and uncommon compassion. Dave was active in the Nashua community as a member of the Rotary Club and the Nashua, NH Bar Association, but most significantly as trustee and board secretary for the Nashua Public Library from 1997 until his passing.

No accounting of Dave's life is complete without mentioning Newfound Lake. It was here that Dave was brought as a kid in the summers to play by and in its clear waters. It was here that he proposed to the love of his life, Barbara, on a becalmed sailboat in its middle. It was here that he would first teach his own kids and then grandkids how to canoe, and kayak, and drive the boat. The lake was Dave's respite as much as it was his satellite office. When he was not on the porch banging out briefs or calling clients for that one critical bit of insight, he was headed down to his boat, oftentimes with a whole crew of family and friends, but also sometimes with his book of the moment. But mostly, Dave loved to just drive out into the middle of the lake, cut the engine, and float and read and observe until it was time to swim.

Dave will always be remembered for his honesty, compassion, and humor. We'll always imagine hearing him say, "What's a Dave to do?" one more time. We couldn't have asked for a better son, brother, father, grandfather and uncle and will miss David every single day.

Visiting hours will be held from 4-8:00 pm on Friday, December 19, 2025, at the Davis Funeral Home, 1 Lock St., Nashua, NH 03064. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10 am on
