David Jonathan Strousse of Hartland, VT, died on October 4, 2019 of complications from cancer. He is remembered as a devoted father and husband and a caring friend.

David was born on June 25, 1957 in Stamford, CT to David and Marcia Strousse. He grew up in Stamford, attending King School and Stamford High School. David then went to Ithaca College where he met his future wife. He worked in the ski industry for four decades and was known as a master boot-fitter. His pursuit to make ski boots fit comfortably led him to a career as a pedorthist; he treated many grateful clients with custom orthotics. He was an avid skier, Deadhead, and was a member of the Hartland Planning Commission.

David was loved by his family: his wife Victoria (Zialcita) of Hartland, his daughters Rose Simone of Burlington, VT and Kate Caroline of Montpelier, VT; his sisters Cynthia of Boston, MA and Tracy of Laguna Woods, CA; his half-brothers Justin and Eben Strousse and his German Shepherd puppy, who will miss the nightly sunset walks.

There will be no calling hours, per David's wishes. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Vermont Public Radio, 365 Troy Avenue, Colchester, VT 05446 https://donate.vpr.org/
