He was a true outdoorsman who loved fresh and saltwater fishing in addition to bird and deer hunting. He enjoyed boating, 4-wheeling, and motorcycle riding. David was a handy and creative man who could always be found tinkering with one project or another. David had a love of animals, with a special place in his heart for his faithful companion, "Bandit".  David cherished his family and simply loved spending time with them.
In addition to leaving his adoring wife, Lisa, David was the loving father of Donna  Bright and her husband, Jeff Bright, of Providence, RI; and the late Eric "Rick" Dunham and his wife, Cathy (Harris) Dunham, of Rome, NY.  He was the proud and adoring grandfather of Eric Dunham, Kyle Dunham, Jeune Plasson-Robinson, Levi Bright, and Parson "Congo" Bright.  He was the dear brother of Carl Dunham of Blossvale, NY; Steven Dunham of Camden, NY; the late Linda Kapsho; and the late Jerome "Jerry" Dunham. David was the loving son-in-law of Joanne (Fuller) Alger and the late Robert "Ike" Alger, and brother-in-law of Erica Grenier and her husband, James Grenier, of Foxboro, MA; and David Alger and his wife, Cheryl, of Fort Mill, SC.  David leaves several cherished nieces and nephews, his extended family, and many dear friends, both near and far.
