David E. Cloutier Sr.

AUGUSTA – David E. Cloutier, Sr., loving father, grandfather and great grandfather, passed away after a short battle with Alzheimers. David was the youngest of four children born Jan. 26, 1936, to Thecla (Zayac) and David Cloutier.

David spent most of his working life as a foreman at Bates Manufacturing. His favorite hobbies were hunting and fishing. He especially loved fishing for stripers near Popham Beach where the family spent many summers.

He is survived by his wife Elissa (Lisa) Cloutier; his daughter Kim Therrien and husband Gerard, son David Cloutier and fiancé Leanna Abel, son Michael Cloutier and daughter Judy Shostak and husband John. Also surviving David are grandson Zachary Maurice and wife Chelsea and granddaughter Chelsea and husband Ben Card; and great grandson Mason Card. He was predeceased by a son Dale Cloutier; and grandson Gerry Therrien. David was a beloved grandfather they all called Barky. He will be greatly missed.

The family wishes to express their thanks to Maine General Medical Center and Glenridge Long Term Nursing Home for the care and compassion they showed to David and his family.

At the family request there will be no visiting hours and a private ceremony of his life will be celebrated.

He has returned to the source, where the fish always bite and the fish day is always bright.
