Dracut - David H. 'Emmitte' Lamothe, 54, a resident of Dracut, died on Monday, June 1, 2009 at the Community Hospice House in Merrimack, NH after living with cancer for nearly three years.
He was the beloved husband of Joanne P. (Dumais) Lamothe and together, they lived, laughed, and loved through 30 years of marriage and more than 30 years of long walks on Ogunquit Beach in Maine. David was extremely devoted to his two children, Brad and Anna. The family was known to do everything together and when David's time came to meet the Lord, Joanne, Brad, and Anna were there to see him through the last part of his spiritual journey.
Born March 5, 1955, in Lowell, he was the son of the late Lillian (Breault) (Lamothe) Trudel and Robert Lamothe who currently resides in Lowell.

David was a member of Boy Scouts of America Troop 83 in Dracut, for many years and participated in the Big Brother Big Sister Program of Greater Lowell. His Big Brother relationship with his once 8 year old 'Little Brother', Ricky McClelland has turned into a father/son bond that has endured 30 years.
