ELIOT, ME — David Robert Willis, 65, loving husband of Anne (Woodsum) Willis, died Saturday, October 10, 2020 under the care of Beacon Hospice.

Mr. Willis was born at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville NC on May 31, 1955, and was the son of the late Veronica (Connors) and Robert E. Willis.

He worked as a HVAC Technician at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for over 32 years where he met the love of his life, Anne. After retirement in 2015, he enjoyed spending time with his beloved family and closest friends.  As an avid hunter and fisherman, he loved being outdoors. He was happiest when he was helping others.

In addition to Anne, his wife of 23 years, he is survived by two stepchildren, Nicole Hughes and her fiancé Daniel Noonan of Eliot Maine, Daniel Hughes and his partner Brandi Wilcox of Newmarket NH, his Mother-In-Law Patricia Woodsum of Newburyport MA, and his beloved dog and best friend Charlie Cooper.  Mr. Willis was predeceased by his siblings Wayne Willis and Dianne (Willis) Walker.
