He was born on May 29, 1948, son of Herbert and Esther (LaBarre) LaBombard.

David was a third generation farmer on the LaBombard Farm in Ellenburg Center and then went to work as a corrections officer retiring from Franklin Correctional.

His biggest hobby was spending time hunting and he enjoyed truck pulling with his truck named after his daughter.  David was a true family man.  He deeply loved his grandchildren who always put the sparkle in his eyes, and he was very proud of his three boys.

David was a member of the Ellenburg Center Fire Department and the Adirondack Tractors Pulling Association.

David was predeceased by his parents;  brothers, Wayne LaBombard and Morris LaBombard;  and his beloved daughter Hilary Rae and her mother Sandy Finlayson LaBombard.

The family wishes to thank the SAR Unit at Alice Hyde Medial Center for the wonderful care he received, as well as the doctors and nurses at the University of Vermont Medical Center.  They were also very grateful to the staff of Hospice who made sure he had the most comfortable care in his final days.
