Holyoke, MA – David Allen Hewes Sr. died on November 18, 2022, in Boston, Massachusetts.
David was born on December 25, 1952, in Northampton, MA to the late Clarence R. Hewes, III, and Barbara Richardson (Martin).
David loved his family, his dogs, his cats, his friends, and especially his God and Country. He enjoyed spending time with his family at his fishing camp in upstate New York. He loved fishing, hunting, and especially his boat. He was a member of the American Legion, V.F.W, AmVets, and the NRA, and as much as he loved all of them, we loved him more.
