James DAVIS Obituary
James was a retired waterman and painter. His paint brush passed over many houses stretching from the Peninsula throughout the Middle Peninsula. He enjoyed bluegrass music, storytelling, his adopted dog, Jake, and most of all loved and enjoyed his grandchildren immensely. He will be missed by everyone.
His parents, Isaac Davis and Carroll and Elizabeth Lewis; brothers, Joe Davis and Lodie Davis; and sister, Catherine Brooks, preceded him in death.
He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Margie E. Davis; two daughters, Rose M. Brown and husband, Thomas, Ella Robinson and husband, Roger; two sons, Wayne Davis and Tommy Davis; seven grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services, officiated by the Rev. John Downs, will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, at Hogg Funeral Home, Gloucester Point. Interment will follow in Gloucester Point Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 7 to 8:30 p.m. tonight, at the funeral home.
