Old Orchard Beach-David Redmond, Sr., age 62, of Old Orchard Beach, ME, passed away on March 4, 2024. He was born on September 6, 1961, in Portland, ME, to John Joseph Redmond Jr. and Rosemary Anne Riley Redmond. David attended Cheverus High School, where he was a three sport athlete in football, basketball and baseball, graduating in 1979. He went on to attend Bentley College, and although he did not obtain a degree, his thirst for knowledge and dedication to his pursuits remained unwavering. In service to his country, David enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he proudly served for five and half years. Following his military service, David began his career at the Maine Youth Center before transitioning into the role of a Probation Officer for Maine Correctional, where he dedicated over 30 years of service before retiring on March 31, 2022. Outside of his professional endeavors, David was deeply involved in various activities within his community. He served as a baseball umpire with the Maine Principals' Association (MPA) for high school games for over 25 years. He had a passion for attending sporting events, especially those involving children, and was an avid supporter of New England sports teams, particularly the Red Sox and Bruins. David's love for wings was well-known, as he made it a point to indulge in them with his son David at least once a week. He also cherished the companionship of his beloved Jack Russell Terriers, Jackson and Angus. David was a familiar face at the Civic Center, where he worked for many years as event staff/security. He took great pride in scorekeeping for his son's hockey games at Westbrook High School and looked forward to family reunions and gatherings during the holidays and special occasions. In addition to his professional and community involvement, David served as the President of the MPA's Umpire Association and was a member of the Irish Code of Law Enforcement Officers for Maine, a fraternal organization also known as the Emerald Society. David is survived by his two sons, Daniel G. Redmond of Florida and David J. Redmond Jr. of Westbrook; his daughter, Alexis R. Redmond of Colorado; his brother, Jack Redmond and wife Judy of Portland; six sisters: Carol Gauvin and husband Ryan of Texas, Peggy Croker and husband Scott of Florida, Patti Martin-Redmond of Windham, Kathy Zomorodian and husband Hamid of Florida, Ann Darling and husband Tim of Portland, and Nancy Crockett and husband Brian of Gorham; along with many nieces and nephews.

  3. To the Redmond family-
    I am only now learning of Dave’s passing. Words cannot express my deep sorrow for Dave’s passing. He was one of my first friends and stayed that way for almost 60 years. Although we drifted apart over the years every time we reconnected it was as if time stood still. He was a kind true friend, and I will hold warm memories of him in my heart. Sincere sympathy to Dave’s children, family and friends. Until we meet again my friend I’ll keep your memory in my heart.

  4. On behalf of the Westbrook Coro Clan, we are very sorry for your loss and wish you all our best.

    He was a good man.

    Matt, Ruth Anne, Jacob, Madeleine, and Hannah ❤️

  5. My coworker for over 20 years, I will miss your irreverent wit and your intolerance for BS. Always the umpire, “you called them as you saw them”. If there is a heaven, I know with Jackson, hanging with Moe, Larry & Curley!

  6. I am deeply saddened that Dave has passed away. He worked for me on the Event Staff at the Civic Center for more years that I can remember. I always assigned David to the toughest areas because I knew that he would do a great job. I always felt better when I saw him walk through to door to work. He was liked and respected by all of his coworkers. I offer my deepest sympathy to his family.

  7. So sorry to the Redmond clan for their loss. Used to see him walking his spirited friendly dog Angus in the trailer park. So sad and sudden. May he rest in peace.
