David, 83, of Boston,Massachusetts, passed away on

David served his country with honor and nobility in the U.S. Navy during
the Vietnam War. After honorable discharge from the United States
Naval Amphibious Base of Coronado, California, he worked as a baker at
the Stop N’ Shop Bakery for a time, then as a supervisor of the tolls with
the department of transportation before retiring to spend time with
family.
He loved his family and spending time with them, especially his grand
children and great-grandchildren. He loved animals and enjoyed card
games, staying current with the news, joking and laughing with others,
providing for the ones he loved, building things and working with his
hands. He was also a proud foster parent.
The family would like to thank the staff members at “William Childs
Hospice House-Health First” for their loving care and support.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
