GLENBURN – David Vernon Cammack, 51, went to be with the Lord July 12, 2006, after a long and courageous battle with multiple myeloma. He was born Dec. 27, 1954, in Washington D.C., the son of Donald A. and Barbara Jean (Richardson) Cammack. David attended Bangor schools and graduated from Bangor High School. He had a passion for playing guitar and enjoyed playing with the worship team at his church. David thoroughly enjoyed motorcycling, fishing, horseback riding, bird watching, and reading his weekly “Uncle Henry’s.” He liked his many Craftsman tools and felt strongly that this was the only brand to have. When David was a young boy he enjoyed selling the “Grit” newspaper to family, friends and relatives after church services in the Frazier Street neighborhood. The family moved to outer Essex Street to raise vegetables and farm animals, and to enjoy country living. He then started working at Sears and worked his way through the organization in various jobs and after 22 years was an assistant manager. In 1994, he joined his wife, Carol and made a career selling insurance with Allstate Insurance. In his earlier years he attended St. John’s Catholic Church and later became a member of the First Church of the Nazarene, Bangor. He was a much-loved husband, father, brother, uncle and son and will be dearly missed. David is survived by his wife, Carol (Hunt) Cammack of Glenburn; children, Caitlin Cammack of Glenburn, Matthew Cammack of Pawtucket, R.I., Laura Cammack of Old Town; Matthew and Laura’s mother, Molly Larson of Hope, formerly of Bangor; brothers and sisters, Donald Cammack Jr. and wife, Carolann, of Bangor, Vicki Caruso and husband, Bob, of Hampden, Patrick Cammack and wife, Valerie, of Glenburn, Robert Cammack of Bradford, Cheri McCormick and husband, Rick, of Bangor, Daniel Cammack and wife, Tina, of Florida. He will be dearly missed by his mother-in-law, Kathleen Hunt of Glenburn; a sister-in-law, Diane Louis of Tavares, Fla.; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his mother and father. The family wishes to thank the staff at CancerCare of Maine and Eastern Maine Medical Center 6th floor oncology unit, for their compassionate and loving care to David and his family.
