David Bohrer Obituary
Heath, MA — David Laurence Bohrer, 62 passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on June 6, 2021. He was born on October 5, 1958, in Greenfield, MA and raised by loving parents, Ruth and Larry Bohrer, now deceased, in Deerfield, MA.
David attended Eaglebrook School and Graduated from Deerfield Academy in 1977. He studied at the College of Wooster and completed his BS degree in business management at the American International University in Springfield, MA.
David worked for Sandri Energy's Lubricants Division for 23 years where he was a top sales executive. Following a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's, David retired to enjoy his many outdoor interests; photography, kayaking, hiking, and skiing. His favorite location was his country hillside home in Heath that he shared with his life partner Hilary Black and many feathered and furry friends, especially his beloved dogs, Bootsie, Teva, and Bam Bam.
David was full of wit and humor which made him a wonderful companion to his many friends; devoted stepfather to Sarah Hartshorne, fun uncle to George, Will and Henry, and good friend to their father Jim. He is survived by his loving sister Sarah Bohrer Caldwell.
A private memorial service will be held in Heath where David's life will be celebrated and his cremated remains will be cast to the rolling hillsides near his home that he loved so dearly. Remembrances of David may be made in his name to Diggity Dogs Service Dogs Inc. (indogswetrust.org/donate)

David and Hillary would buy steaks from me and he was such a kind man. I went to the home today and found it empty for sale and was immediately saddened. He will always be remembered by me. I hope Hilly is ok. Miss you David

David and I last saw each other at a swimming party in Shelburne. We went to church together & I considered he and Sarah friends. He was a fun guy and I know he'll be missed by all.
