David LaFlamme Obituary
Dave was born on Dec. 18, 1948 in Manchester, and was a resident of New London and Waterford for most of his life. Dave worked for Davy Tree Service for many years and was a licensed tree surgeon. He also worked at Thames Valley Steel as an expert welder and served in the U.S. Coast Guard. In his early years, Dave enjoyed water skiing and antiques and was quite a connoisseur!
David is survived by his brothers, Peter LaFlamme and wife, Robbie, of Richardson, Texas, and Martin LaFlamme of Old Town, Maine; also his nieces, Felissa LaFlamme of Dallas, Texas, Rochelle Cole of Richardson, Texas and Nicole LaFlamme of High Point, N.C. He is also survived by his caretaker Saint Gladys Merritt, as Dave would refer to her. He leaves behind many close friends and relatives and will sadly be missed by all.
David was predeceased by his parents.
Dave requested to be buried at sea and those wishes will be honored. Funeral arrangements will be private.
