Dr Sensenig might have had patients but each patient was an individual with a personality. I worked with him as an anesthetist at EMMC days and nights and I was always impressed with his decisions and skills.
RIP David Sensenig, you helped many many people through the years.. l

Rest in Peace! I have wonderful memories of working with Dr. Sensenig as a young RN Charge nurse on NWB at Eastern Maine. He was bigger than life and was always teaching! The indelible impression he made on those he worked with and the patients he cared for will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and closest friends at this difficult time. A life of service well lived!

I remember Dr. Sensenig very well though 44 years separate our last meeting. He made me feel like one of the family the summers we spent on Sebec Lake. I will always regard him as one of the 'good guys' in my life. My thoughts go out to Paul and Davie and the rest of his family.
