David Ladd Obituary
David attended Soo Tech and graduated with his mechanical engineering degree. After college, he enlisted in the Army, served in Vietnam, and was award the bronze star with valor.
During his career he was a registered professional engineer, VP and GM of three major corporations, and he served on numerous boards. (Y.M.C.A., United Way, and church) He cherished his family, loved nature, hunting, building, prolific travelling with his wife Marcia in their motor home, and helping others in the community.
David Ladd is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Marcia (Armstrong) Ladd of Brimley, Michigan, sons Jason (Kym) Ladd and Daniel (Melissa) Ladd, daughter Lori (Steve) Ladd, and grandchildren Skylar, Marina, Kody, Luke, and a 5th granddaughter coming in August. Also surviving are his sister Beverly (Ray) Nesseth, and cousin Julie who has been invaluable in caring for Dave these last few years.
Preceding him in death are his parents, and his beloved grandmother, Bertha Albrough. Dave was an only child and upon marriage he welcomed and was welcomed by Marcia's Armstrong Clan. As a result, Dave and Marcia hosted multiple Armstrong family reunions at their home. Our family was also blessed with inclusion of the Late Ron and Linda Carrick family.

Our condolences to the whole family. Dave was a good friend of both of us and as a mentor to me at Ansul. I will always remember the time we spent at the bar in the Marinette Inn and as cooks at the women's steak fry's.

Our deepest condolences to the family. Dave was a wonderful friend.
I will always cherish the time we had together both in Marinette as well as our visits with you when we lived in Wausau. (The many evenings we spent sitting at the bar in the Marinette Inn) He will be sorely missed by both of us. Our thoughts were with all of you.
