Obituary from Tributes.com
David A. Womble, 74 LUNENBURG – David Andrew Womble, 74, of Lunenburg passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday morning, Oct. 18, in the presence of his family after a long and heroic battle with cancer. Born in Edgecombe County, North Carolina on February 19, 1935, he was the son of the late Charles William Thomas and Helen Marie (Johnson) Womble of Edgecombe County, North Carolina. He leaves his beloved wife of 36 years, Nancy (Rahaim) Womble and their children: Curtis R. Womble and his companion Alisa Truax of Lunenburg, C. Renee Womble and her husband John Hargraves of Westminster, David Anthony Womble and his companion Sarah Peaslee of Westminster, Joseph Forkey and his wife Heather of Princeton, MA and Ann Marie (Forkey) Koivu and her husband Rick of Lunenburg; his grandchildren, Dillon Womble, Tyler Truax, Shania Womble and Kathryn, Timothy, Jonathan, Daniel and Margaret Forkey; his brother Charles Robert Womble & sister-in-law Maryanna of NC, his sister Mary Deborah (Womble) Johnson and brother-in-law John of Elm City, NC, his sister-in-law, Laurie Womble of Springlake, NC. His brother William Thomas Womble of Springlake, NC predeceased him in April of 2008. He also leaves a very special cousin, Betty Joanne McCandles, and many dear nieces and nephews. He will be sadly missed by all those who love him. David was raised on his family's tobacco farm in Elm city, NC in the small close knit community of Temperance Hall where he was a member of the Temperance Hall United Methodist Church. He received his high school diploma from Oakridge Military Institute in Oakridge, NC where he was a proud member of the elite Gold Star Platoon precision drill team and rifle team. He worked on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in Rocky Mount, NC while attending Atlantic Christian College, later transferring to NC State where he earned his Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics in 1962. After graduating, he moved to Greenbelt, MD where he was employed by NASA for three years at Goddard Space Flight Center. In 1965 he moved to MA and joined ITEK Corporation in Lexington, MA where he would work in the field of National Security until his retirement in 1990. While David was hired at ITEK as a "junior physicist", he rapidly rose to the position of Senior Optical Engineer and then Senior Lens Designer. David's work encompassed many noteworthy and important contributions to Science and Technology and also to National Security. Those achievements included special contributions to many camera systems that were flown on NASA missions, some to the moon and Mars. The NASA S-190 Skylab six lens multi-spectral camera was cited in the Proceedings of the International Congress of Photogrammetry and Remote sensing in 1972. David's unique contributions were recognized by ITEK with numerous prestigious awards including the ITEK Inventor's Award, the "Master Lens Designer" award, the National Inventors Day, February 11, Hall of Fame Award and a special ITEK appreciation award for the NASA-ITEK large format camera program. Other contributions included support for the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars"), the Viking Mars Lander Camera, and Corona Satellite Reconnaissance Camera. Many examples of David's work can be seen at the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. David was granted a US Patent, with co-inventor William Wetherall, for an all reflective three element objective system. David was a real estate broker and owner of Farm Home Realty since 1979. He was a troop leader in the late 1960's with the Boy Scouts of America in Chelmsford, MA. He served on the Lunenburg Conservation Commission where he engineered and helped rebuild a wooden bridge over Mulpus Brook in the Cowdrey Nature Center. David was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying fishing, hunting and astronomy. He especially loved spending time with his grandchildren, taking them fishing and for rides on his four-wheeler, tractor and backhoe, and teaching them to play pool. The funeral will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 10 AM in the United Parish on Main St. Burial will be in the North Cemetery. Calling hours will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 20, from 5 to 8 PM in the Lunenburg Chapel of the Sawyer-Miller-Masciarelli Funeral Homes, 763 Massachusetts Ave. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Temperance Hall United Methodist Church, 3237 Temperance Hall Rd., Elm City, NC 27822.
