Fairfield County, Ohio. She grew up in Sugar Grove, Ohio, attended and graduated from Berne Union School in Sugar Grove, Ohio.

David T. Sootsman East Leroy David T. Sootsman, 66, of East Leroy, passed away peacefully with his wife and daughter by his side Thursday, November 18, 2010.

He served in the United States Army during the Vietnam Era, from 1966-1969, stationed in Alaska. David had a love for music.

He was employed by MESC for nine years and then went to the Office of Services to the Aging, retiring in 1984. David enjoyed sailing boats and racing cars, and later in life, that passion developed into collecting model trains, flying RC planes and sailing model boats. He was currently the Commodore of the Battle Creek Model Yacht Club and past president of the Balsa Bee?s Model Airplane Club. Along with help from his wife, Karen, and daughter, Coleen, David published and distributed internationally the Sootsman N Scale Collector's Guide. David also had an interest in politics, serving on various boards and committees in Emmett Township and Leroy Township. He also volunteered his time working the elections and with emergency management. On October 21, 1978, David married the love of his life, Karen Buteau, who survives. Also surviving are his daughter, Coleen (John) Sootsman-Eicher of Commerce Township; his granddaughter, Adelle Eicher; a sister, Mary Jane Quartermaine; his sister-in-law, Suzanne Buteau; and many of his favorite cats. At the request of the family, friends may call on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 from 4-7 p.m. at the Farley-Estes & Dowdle Funeral Home.
