Born to Gerald John and Doris (Webster) Bois in Somerville, Mass., on Sept. 19, 1949, he grew up in Beverly, Mass., where he attended The Church in the Cove, graduated high school and stayed until joining the Navy.

Ultimately, David moved to Rochester, N.H. It is there that he met his wife Debi (Donahue). They married in Los Angeles in 1982 where they made their home until his passing.

David was a musician and an artist. He played guitar, wrote screenplays, poetry and songs; he built furniture, created beautiful ceramic tiles and was the “glazing” guru for the annual Empty Bowls efforts hosted by CVUMC. He had a gentle, loving soul.
