David Roser Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
David attended Sandford School (Sunny Hill) where he rode his beloved horse, Natalie, to and from every day. Over the years, David worked in many professions including farming, mushroom growing, working for Malin Plumbing, Delaware Power and Light, and finally owning his own excavation business, David P. Roser Inc.
David served his community proudly with the Hockessin Fire Company for 65 years. He was a respected fire chief for 31 years, later acting as Chief Emeritus from 2004 onwards as a member of the Board of Directors for the Hockessin Fire Company.
A loving husband, father, and grandfather, David is survived by his wife, Sherri Roser, his son, Eric Selway, and his daughter, Nicole Lachette, as well as his cherished grandchildren, Ava and Mady Lachette, and Lyla and Chloe Selway. He is additionally survived by his sister Barbara Morgan and her husband, Richard. His memory will continue to thrive in the hearts of all those whose lives he touched.
