David Francis Minard
Nov. 9, 1945-Jan. 7, 2024
In the quiet early morning of Jan. 7, 2024 our father passed peacefully, on the knoll with family by his side. He was born on Nov. 9, 1945.
As daylight approached a cardinal pair were fluttering in his picture window to take him on his journey to join our mom who passed in 2021.
Dad was known as a man of few words. He had a kind spirit and a gentle soul. He was easily recognized by his striking white hair — (courtesy of us three girls) his crystal blue eyes and soft smile.
He enjoyed his daily visits at the Killington Deli coffee station while gassing up the truck before heading off to mow lawns or plow snow until he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2022.
Best put by a longtime customer of his, “He was one of the good guys! He had the right stuff. He loved his family, his community — and his truck!”
We love you Dad-Pop-Papa
Not goodbye, just until
