Obituary of Frank Davis

Davis: Frank Richard (Dick) It is with profound sadness we announce the peaceful passing of a wonderful husband and father Frank Richard "Dick" Davis in his 90th, year. He is survived by his wife Jeannette and his stepchildren Pat (Susan), Mike (Sue), Beverly (Dwayne), Jo-Anne (Iain) and his many extended family members. Dick was born to parents Frank and Lillian Davis, and his siblings were Molly (Gerald -predeceased), Bruce (Shirley-predeceased), Leonard (Joyce), Gwen (Garnet-predeceased), Joan (Keith) and a young sister Beryl-predeceased. Born in LeBret, Saskatchewan, Dick along with his family came to Ontario at the age of 14 to continue their life-long commitment to farming in the Brechin area. Dick was a 60 year member of the Brechin Legion, a position he held with great pride and dedication.. He touched the hearts of many with his unending kindness. He was a great listener and never criticized. If you were fortunate enough you may have heard him recite many Robert Service poems-the most treasured one "The Cremation of Sam Magee- a special family tradition at Christmas. Dick had many passions in life; picking strawberries, boiling sap, playing euchre; and he was told by the recycling pick-up that he was the best recycler in town. He enjoyed getting his snowblower out and taking care of anyone who needed it. We ask that you keep Dick in your prayers and join us for a celebration of Dick's life. Visitation will be held at the Simcoe Funeral Home- 38 James Street E. Orillia on Saturday February 22nd from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Services beginning with a legion service will be held in the chapel at 1 p.m. Interment Stone Church Cemetery- Beaverton. In lieu of flowers donations to the Brechin Royal Canadian Legion in his memory would be appreciated. Dick joined the army in 1945, but was not called to service. "Forever in Our Hearts"
