EXETER - Clifford H. Davis, Jr., 90, of Exeter, N.H., passed away on Sunday, November 11, 2018 at the Colonial Poplin Nursing Home in Fremont, N.H. Cliff was born in Exeter, N.H. on April 26, 1928, the son of Clifford H. Davis, and Mary (Mazurka) Davis.
Cliff was a graduate of the Exeter High School, and served in the US Marine Corp.
For over 39 years, Cliff worked as a lineman for the Exeter& Hampton Electric Co. and the Unitil Corp. After his "retirement", he worked for 20 years as a driver at United Machine & Tool Design Co., In Fremont, N.H., finally ending his employment at age 79.
Cliff enjoyed working in his yard, and would often be seen raking, mowing or collecting the 'damn' hickory nuts that fell onto his lawn. He loved going to the games his great-grandchildren played, and got a "kick" out of the videos which featured that living fourth generation.
He was dedicated to his wife, Gertrude, and together they enjoyed entertaining their family, dancing and the simple week-end ritual of breakfast at "Rogan's". After her strokes, he cared for Gert at home for over two years, and spent most days with her once nursing care was needed. Since her death in April of 2017, he visited Gert's grave almost daily, even on those winter days when the hard-packed snow made for treacherous walking.
Cliff was predeceased by his wife of over 65 years, Gertrude (Adam) Davis. He is survived by his sister, Mary Sanville; his sons and their wives, Rick and Priscilla Davis, Dan and Diane Davis, and Jim and Jody Davis. He also leaves three grandchildren, Chris, Meagan and Nick; four great-grandchildren, Kylie, Emmie, Keagan and Owen; and several cousins, nieces and nephews.

Services will be held in the funeral home on Friday at 11 a.m. Burial will follow in the Exeter Cemetery. Please visit www.stockbridgefh.com.

So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing just seeing this tonight. He was a devoted husband and family man and was there for you all and Gert. May your fond memories bring smiles to your faces and may you find comfort from those who sorround you during this difficult time. I am sure they're dancing around heaven and enjoying each other company once again.

Cliff was a wonderful neighbor. He enjoyed watching our boys grow up in the neighborhood, and always inquired about them when they went off to college. He was very attentive to his wife Gertrude his children/grandchildren, and to those "damn hickory nuts." We always smiled seeing all the cars in the driveway knowing the family was gathered for Sunday dinner at Cliff and Gertrude on Sunday afternoons. The children were so attentive to both their parents. We enjoyed seeing Cliff and Gertrude on Friday nights, for their weekly dinner at New England Pizza when we would be running in for takeout before a sports game or practice. Cliff will be missed by the Kingsley Family.
