David Amsler

David Amsler, 66, passed away peacefully Oct. 30, 2007 in Las Vegas.

He was born Dec. 5, 1940 in Olean, N.Y. to Russell and Rita Amsler.

In his youth, David helped his father build their first home; he learned a lot from this experience and remembered it fondly.

At the age of 14, his family moved to Tucson, Ariz. While living there, David began his working career as a gas station attendant and continued to achieve in the job market as an elevator mechanic and operating his own plumbing business.

In 1964, David went to work for EG and G at the Nevada Test Site, located in Mercury. It didn't take him long to become a supervisor. He did such a great job for them that Sandia National Laboratories requested that he worked for them as a technical coordinator. He worked for them until retiring in 2001.

After he retired, he and his wife lived in Beaver Dam, Ariz., St. George, Utah and Pahrump.

David was an avid hunter and fisherman. He very seldom came home without his tags filled or his limit caught when fishing. It was said he could catch a fish in a five-gallon bucket.

He also loved teaching his grandchildren to fish. He would catch a fish and then hand them the pole allowing them to think they had caught the fish, while he stood back and grinned.

David enjoyed the outdoors so much that he built his own log cabin in the mountains at Mammoth Creek, Utah.

After he retired, David and his wife spent all of their summers there.

David was a kind-hearted, generous man who will be missed by many dear family members and friends.

Per David's request, there will be no services held at this time.

His wishes were that we hold a celebration of his life when we open the cabin in the springtime.

David is survived by his wife Paula; dog Shugie; step-children Michelle and Geno Fletcher; six step-grandchildren Kaylee, Paris, Kristine, K.C., Elisha and Leah; son Jeff Amsler; sister Delores Huckabone; brother-in-law Duke Patterson; sisters-in-law Sherree Patterson and Charlotte Jones plus many very close friends.
