40 year-old Veteran lost in Auburn Maine.
David Rancourt was a two-time veteran of both the current action in Iraq as
well as Desert Storm.
He was currently serving as a member of the Androscoggin County Sheriff's
Department on the department's dive team, which routinely conducts
underwater searches in the many bodies of water in this area.
He leaves behind a wife and an 8-year-old son. David was a great husband
and father as well as a cherished comrade among his fellow officers.
Our most heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of David Rancourt.
