David W. Jordan
– April 11, 2020
David W. Jordan, loving husband and stepfather to four, passed away on Saturday, April 11, 2020, at the age of 81 after a long illness.
David was born on Jan. 8th, 1939, in Gorham, New Hampshire, and was raised in the area. He attended school in Gorham and graduated from Gorham High School in 1957.
After graduation David joined the U.S. Army, where he earned military recognition for his service during his two tours in Vietnam. He was honorably discharged in 1966. After serving in the military David was employed for a time at Wildcat Ski Area, then started working in the beater room as a sizeman at the paper mill in Groveton. He remained there for many years until becoming unable to work after a car accident.
David married Marjorie (Curtis) McCormack in 1984 and settled in Groveton, New Hampshire. He and his wife enjoyed winters in Sun City Center, Florida, for several years before becoming full-time residents. He enjoyed the many activities available for retirees and made many of them. He enjoyed a full and active retirement, enjoying camping and spending time with extended family members and frequent visitors from New Hampshire. David enjoyed several hobbies, including bowling, golfing, coin and model truck collecting and finding objects with his metal detector.
He was an avid Red Sox fan but enjoyed all types of sports. He loved his morning newspaper (to check the baseball scores), his coffee and his cat.
David enjoyed driving and generously used his time to shuttle friends, neighbors or relatives wherever they needed to go and could "drive to the airport in Tampa blindfolded" because he had made the trip so many times.
David will always be remembered as a loving husband and caregiver to his wife. He was kind and helpful to all and will be greatly missed.
David was predeased by his wife of over thirty years, Marjorie; his mother, Marion; and brothers, Henry and James. He is survived by his brother, Franklin; nephew, Steven Jordan, of Gorham; and four stepdaughters: Linda Demers of Gorham; Pamela Wall of Concord, New Hampshire; Nancy Tracey of Sun City Center, Florida; Sally Lafferty of Flowery Branch, Georgia; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date. Burial will be in Center Cemetery in North Stratford, New Hampshire.
