Edward Davey

I was a groundman for Seaford Schools in the early 1970's. Mr. Davey gave a bottle of liquor to every grounds person each Christmas thanking them personally for keeping the grounds beautiful. I was 19 and this was my first Christmas bottle ever received and on my way home I dropped it in the driveway. I will remember Mr. Davey as a person who took the time to care for even the smallest in the chain of life.

As a former student of Seaford Junior High School, I have fond memories of Ed. As the President of the Statesman Society, I had the privledge of organizing and moderating a debate between Assembleyman Milton Jonas and his two opponents. Within two days after the debate, I received a warm thank you letter from Ed. He was a great man, educator and friend. Eric Budowsky, Bellport, New York

Ed was the Assistant Principal when I came to Seaford as a 7th grade student at the Seaford Avenue School in September of 1953and continued as an Assistant Principal until I graduated in 1959. When I came back to student teach at Seaford Jr. -Sr High School, which was against Adelphi Colleges' regulations, an exception was made since the head of student teaching knew Ed. I was then hired to take my cooperating teacher's, Mr. Fiore's , place as he left at the end of my student teaching...

I first was introduced to Ed Davey as a youngster at picnics at Valley Stream State Park along with the Davey, Bergen and Buckley families. At that time, I actually was his base-runner in the softball games. Later, he was my mentor as I tried to follow in his footsteps as an administrator at Seaford Junior High and High School. It was, indeed, an honor to be associated with him in such a meaningful capacity.
GOG BLESS him and his wonderful family.

Mr, Davey was my principal in Seaford back in the Late 50's , He was a friend, a mentor and an all around great person, God now has one of the best to help him

Mr. Davey hired me in 1975 to work in the main office as the assistant principal's Secretary. Thank you Mr. Davey I had a wonderful 37 years at SMS/SMS. Mr. Davey was a very nice man and a very good principal. May he rest in peace.

In 1965, Mr. Davey hired me for my first teaching job in Seaford Junior High. He was a good person and principal. Thank you Mr. Davey.
