David Heard Obituary, Death – With deep affection, William David Heard. On Friday, November 17, 2023, at home, William David Heard, 74, of Waterford, departed quietly with his 39-year wife Karen by his side. Dave was a Penn State University alum. He was the proprietor of E.L. Heard & Son in Waterford for the third generation. He had a long career full of jokes, laughter, and getting things done. He saw his coworkers as kin.

The residents of Waterford will always remember Dave for his unwavering commitment and loyalty to his clients. Along with many dedicated extended family members, he is survived by his beloved wife Karen and their three children, Andy, Matt, and Krissy and her husband Joe Gilbert. His brother Grayson as well as his parents William and Corinne passed away before him. One of the most important moments in Dave’s life was the death of his oldest son Robb, who was fighting cancer.

He promised Robb that he would keep looking to Jesus Christ for deliverance in the midst of this difficulty, drawing courage and comfort from his faith. Dave cherished a number of things, such as his numerous German shepherds, muscle cars, coaching little league sports, listening to music from the 1960s, and the occasional ice cream run. The people who knew David will always carry his spirit with them, and he will be sadly missed. Many thanks to everyone who provided hospice care for Dave, especially special caregiver Stacie, who made his days happier.
