RICHARD P. "DICK" DAVIS

January 2, 1927 — April 4, 2023

Richard P. “Dick” Davis, 96, of Garrettsville, passed away with his loving family by his side on Tuesday, April 4, 2023. He was born January 2, 1927, in Alliance, to the late Earl and Mildred (Groat) Davis.

He was a proud WWII Navy veteran, who served in the Pacific as a Radioman, Second Class. Dick married the love of his life, Lois Elaine Justin, on June 20, 1947, and they were lucky to be together until her death in 2010. He retired as the supervisor of the Waste Water Treatment Plant in Garrettsville. Before then, Dick also worked at the Garrettsville Journal, Mallory-DeHaven Funeral Home, and as a carpenter. Dick made many beautiful pieces out of wood, as woodworking and making furniture was a passion. He also enjoyed golfing, listening to Dixieland jazz music, and was a devoted Cleveland Indians (Guardians) and Cleveland Browns fan.

Dick will be deeply missed by his children, Jeffrey (Sarah) Davis, of Ravenna, and Karen Kline, of Windham; grandchildren, Kristin (Scott) Brahler, Michael (Denean) Davis, Jason Kline, Stefanie (Paul Miller) Kline, Tracy (John) Brown, and Sandra (Aaron) Bales; great grandchildren, Joe, Jackie, Ally, Danny, Kourtney, Abby, Nathan, Lucas, Jack, Cole, Ashly, Meagan, Jake, and Maya, as well as many nephews, nieces, and dear friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; beloved wife, Lois Davis, and sisters, Wanda Kollenkark and Midge Younker.
