He was born May 6, 1935, in Bar Harbor, the son of Stanley and Shirley (Dodge) Greene Hyde. David was the fifth generation of Dodges to make his home in Seal Harbor.

He adored his grandfather, Albert Dodge, who taught him lobster fishing as a young man. Besides being on the ocean, David’s greatest joys were his three grandsons. David had a great sense of humor and an enthusiasm for life. He enjoyed storytelling and loved to go togue fishing at Jordan Pond.
