Dana Alan Bacon, 67, died unexpectedly at home in Windsor on Monday, Oct. 20.
He was born Oct.18, 1958, in Windsor, a son of William and Alberta (Perry) Bacon. Dana grew up in Windsor and graduated from Windsor High School in 1977 before attending New Hampshire Community Technical College in Claremont, N.H. He worked in the machining industry all his life, first at Cone Automatic in Windsor until they closed, then at CEPS in Windsor, American Bridge Company in Claremont, and then at Sturm Ruger in Newport until retiring last year.
Dana was an avid reader and also loved spending time outdoors hunting, fishing, boating, and camping. He especially enjoyed boating and camping on Lake Champlain with his brothers. Dana had several boats over the years and spent many happy hours restoring them until they were just the way he wanted. He was an active member of the Windsor Coon Club where he volunteered for many duties, including as the auctioneer at the annual wild game supper and auction.
Dana was predeceased by his father and is survived by his mother, Alberta; brothers Dale Bacon and Darin Bacon (Shirley), all of Windsor, and was also very close with his niece, nephews, and great-nephew.
A visitation was held Monday, Oct. 27 at the Knight Funeral Home in Windsor. A private committal service will be held at the convenience of the family in the Ascutney Cemetery also in Windsor.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in Dana’s name can be made to the Windsor Coon Hunter’s Association, 2126 Hunt Hill Rd, Windsor, VT 05089
