David Bossie

HOLLIS — Dave Patrick Bossie, 52, of Hollis, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 7, 2016, at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Van Buren, Dave was the son of Barbara (Lapointe) Bossie and the late Eugene Joseph Bossie. He attended the Van Buren School systems, graduating in 1981.

Dave enlisted in the United States Army and served with the 3rd Engineering Battalion. Shortly after his enlistment, he served in Germany and then at Fort Stewart, Ga., where he met the love of his life, Pam.

Upon his completion of duties with the Army, Dave and Pam moved home to Maine, where he turned his love for building into a successful general contracting and remodeling company. Dave’s reputation for quality craftsmanship became well known in southern Maine, where his business grew exponentially.

His northern Maine roots instilled a love for the outdoors. He always loved hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, four-wheeling and outdoor home projects. His great hobby was exercising his culinary skills with family and friends.

Dave was a proud and active member of the Fraternal Order of the Eagles #2977 of Westbrook.

He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Pam of Hollis; his mother, Barbara; his sisters Susan of Van Buren, Gail Chabre of Calais, Carrie Wall of Windham and Kathy Healey of Millinockett; his brother, Tom Bossie of Casco; his five cherished nephews.

Visiting hours were held on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at the Dennett, Craig and Pate Funeral Home and Cremation, 13 Portland Road, Buxton (Bar Mills).
