" A Glimpse Into The Life of William "Bill" Davis"

This is about William "Bill" Davis

Where do we start…

He was such a people, people person

With a lot of people he played a pivotal part.

Union President of Georgia-Pacific

Past Master of Big Island Lodge

Even helped with Bedford Ride.

Everyone who knew him, finds this as no surprise.

Leadership was his forte

That was a role Bill was willing to play.

For relaxation he enjoyed his Koi Fish Pond

He would show his friends his creation

And they would respond.

He had TV programs, he and Carol would watch

Hanging out in the Sunroom was their spot.

These are just a few things Bill enjoyed.

If we would take more time we could explore much more.

THE FAMILY
