He is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Elsie; son Corey, (Barbi); and granddaughters Hannah and Alicia, nieces, nephews, and many friends. Upon their marriage in 1952, David and Elsie moved into the Vartanian Farm in New Hampshire where they raised their children and resided for 40 years. David was an avid and devoted farmer growing a variety of fruits and vegetables sold to local distributors in the Boston area. While still living in New Hampshire, he sold the farm and began developing residential subdivisions. He was active in the Mr. and Mrs. Club of the Mount Ararat Armenian Congregational Church. He was also an active part of the Masons and the Shriners. David was a major supporter of the Republican Party, devoting hours, money, and resources to aiding many candidates when they were running for office. Most importantly, David was fiercely devoted to his wife and his family was always his heart’s first priority.
