DANVERS- David C. Moulton, 71, passed away on July 22, 2015 in Kaplan Family Hospice House. Born in Peabody on March 8, 1944, he was the son of the late Edward and Lois (Rhoades) Moulton. He grew up in both Salem and Danvers, graduating from Danvers High School in 1963, where he played on the hockey team. He went on to attend Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, where he studied construction engineering. David was known his whole life for his incredible work ethic and his knack for fixing anything. He was always there to help others when a job needed to be done. He worked most of his life as a construction site supervisor, but was known for taking on side jobs and extra work for anyone who asked. He was an avid golfer, but could most often be found enjoying his favorite sport: salt-water fishing off of Newburyport or fresh-water fishing in Middleton. He even built his own rods and shared them with family. His dedication to his work was only eclipsed by his devotion to his family. David particularly delighted in his grandchildren, attending sports activities, entertaining them with his unique sense of humor, or simply spending time with them at home. His daughters were the light of his life, and he was always an integral part of their daily lives. He was never happier than when he was surrounded by his daughters and his grandchildren. He completely adored his family. David is survived by his three daughters, Tracie Salvo and her husband Christopher of Danvers, Michelle Moulton and her fiancé Patrick Kelley of Salem and Barbara Almousavi and her husband Ali of Salem, his siblings, Judith Urbanski of Danvers, Patricia Fletcher of FL, Edward Moulton, Jr. of Middleton and his grandchildren, Josh and Drew Salvo, Cora Kelley and Anthony and Ashley DiBona. He was predeceased by his brother, Frank Moulton. His Graveside Service will be held at 11AM on Tuesday, July 28, 2015 in Harmony Grove Cemetery, 30 Grove Street, Salem. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made in David’s name to Care Dimensions, 75 Sylvan St., Danvers, MA 01923.

  2. My girls and I will miss you very, very much. You were an exceptional person and I admire the way you always put your family first. I’m so glad I was fortunate enough to know you in this life.

  3. My heartfelt condolences to the Moulton Family. With fond memories of my earliest childhood friend. We lived across the street from each other on Hobart St. until late summer of 1949. I have memories of David and I running through the lawn sprinkler in their front yard and splashing in the puddles on my side of the street after a summer rain. My first time watching TV was with David when I was invited to watch the Howdy Doody Show. (We didn’t get a TV until after we moved away.) Our paths crossed about 28 years ago at the Danvers Port reunion. My sister found him and brought him to our table where he and I and my late husband Frank (who was part of our early neighborhood childhood threesome), were reunited. Now, two of our Three Musketeers have left the earth, but memories remain forever in the heart.
    God bless you David, and your family. The treasure’s of our youth remain forever in our hearts.

  4. David was my buddy at work for many years and my heart is broken over his passing. Every morning he would unlock the door at work for me and we would talk and have some laughs before the day began. I feel so blessed to have known him and I am so glad that I was able to see him a few weeks ago at his daughter’s home when my husband and I visited him. He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of his family at this very sad time. With our Deepest Sympathy, Mary Jane and John Anderson

  5. He had a special way about him that I so admired. His love of life and positive attitude helped him through to his final moments He was a gentle man, whose love for his daughters, Tracie and Michelle, and grandchildren was so inspiring. He will be dearly missed. God bless his family with the memories. <3
