David D. Willett 62, formerly of West Yarmouth, passed away Wednesday August 31, 2016 at the McCarthy Care Center in Sandwich surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer.

David was born in Salem, the son of the late George D. & Rose (Pashalian) Willett. He was raised in Chatham, where he graduated in 1971 from Chatham High School and soon after moved to Florida.

He was the beloved father of three daughters, Christina Pacella and her husband, Ronald of Walpole, Laurie Hulten and her husband, Marc of Yarmouthport, and Sara Bowdridge and her husband, Josh of Leominster. He was the cherished “Bampy” to his adoring grandchildren, Lexie and Max Hulten, Zachary, Harrison and Donovan Bowdridge, and Anthony, Victoria and Gabriella Pacella. One of six children, he was brother of Susan Williams of Dennisport, Stephen Willett of Denver, CO, Elizabeth Willett of South Yarmouth, Peter Willett of Huntsville, AL, and Martha Willett of San Diego, CA.
