It is with great sadness we announce the passing of David Bain. David was an honorary member and fond supporter of Ocean Park Volunteer Rescue Squad. We met David while eating breakfast at Sunrise Cafe each morning. At some point, every member had met him, sat with him, and shared jokes with him. He expressed an interest in what we did and who we were. He started riding along with our team and learning what we do first hand. David was even voted in as an honorary member by the squad's membership.
One day, during a ride-along, David looked around the station and mater-of-factly stated that we needed new paint and furniture in our day room. With his gift, we were repainting and hauling in new furniture. In 2016 we abruptly lost two ambulances due to mechanical issues. David recognized the urgent need to provide life-saving care to the community. He and Robert Bain stepped up and purchased two ambulances for our station. We continued to meet him for breakfast every morning while driving our new ambulances. David will be missed greatly by our squad and the city.
The family will receive friends Wednesday evening from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at H.D. Oliver Funeral Home, Laskin Road Chapel.
A funeral service will be held Thursday, February 13, 2020, at 11:00 AM at H. D. Oliver Funeral Home, Laskin Road Chapel. Burial will follow in Eastern Shore Chapel Cemetery.
