He was born September 28, 1924 in Thompson Township, Delaware County to the late David and Edith (Strohl) Davis.

On October 23, 1949 he married the former Eula Jean Gulliford in the First United Methodist Church in Richwood and she died November 6, 2014.  He was also preceded in death by an infant sister, Lois Jean Davis.

Bob was an avid sports fan, especially the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Cincinnati Reds.  He and Eula Jean were members of the Rebounders Club, attending many OSU Women’s basketball games.  They always supported their kids in all their activities.  He enjoyed gardening and watching birds and was good at identifying any species that he could see and hear.

He is survived by two daughters, Sue Byers, Akron; Ann Davis, Delaware; a son, Jason (Sue) Davis, Fresno; two granddaughters, Yvonne (Richard Coteat) McKee, Akron; Carolyn (Robert) Buchanan, Uniontown; a grandson, Hayden Davis, Fresno; great-granddaughters, Nora and Haley Buchanan, Uniontown; a sister, Donna (David) Ehret, Richwood.

Bob was a most wonderful person. Someone I always enjoyed seeing, no matter where or what the occasion. Words cannot express what a great guy...he will be missed. May our Lord envelop you all with His grace. May He lessen your grief and sorrow during this difficult time of life. God has most certainly welcomed Bob on the golden streets of Heaven and introduced him to the wealth of blessings he so justly earned. Rejoice and rest assured Bob has been reunited with his Heavenly family. Revel in the splendid memories Bob has given to everyone he met. May God be with you all.

I am sorry to hear of Bob's passing.   He was always a good neighbor.  He helped me by moving snow in my driveway even before we moved.  I didn't even have to ask.  I was traveling from upper Arlington each day when I was building our home and would have been snowed in or out.  He came down and cleared my driveway. He has gone to a better place.  As we know this us the beginning of something great.   George will show him the ropes.  God bless.
