William B. Davis

Age 98, peacefully, with his family gathered, on Wednesday, May 4, 2022. Much loved husband of Erma, who predeceased him; loving father of Susan Ryals (Wes), Beverley Trautman (Ken), and Leslie Holmes (Ray); cherished grandfather of Amy Churchill, Kelly Fiorentini, Michael Trautman (Lisa), Matthew Trautman (Sara), Kathryn Holmes, Alexander Holmes (Kaitlin), Mark Ryals (Amy), and Kenneth Ryals (Elaine); also survived by loved great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Bill will be remembered for many wonderful things he accomplished in his long life, but most of all for the love, time, and talents he showered on those he loved. He had a keen mind, a quick wit, and a sense of the needs of others. He left us examples of wisdom, faith, and courage. There will not be a day we do not think of him. We would have chosen no other.
