Mr. George Davis was a wonderful teacher & great man. Being a member of the 1st graduating class of Spackenkill I was blessed to have his influence, knowledge and friendship for 6 years. He is someone I never forgot: for his stories, dynamic teaching style, humor and spirit. He was someone who made me want to become a teacher.

Mr. Davis was one of the best teacher I ever had at RHS. I remember him bringing into class one day his World War II, footlocker filled with German helmets, war metals, flags and other items, even a knife and sword from the war. Do you think that would happen today.
A great American, rest in peace.

He was one of my teachers when I was a Freshman at Roosevelt H.S. in 1956. I always respected and admired Mr. Davis, a member of the "Greatest Generation", a true American hero.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this tough time. I had the privilege of meeting "Uncle George" 2 years ago when his niece brought him to where she worked. Very kind sweet man. Christina L- Pine Plains

Our friendship began in 1976 when we met George & Marge in Kenya. They introduced us to USA and we were happy to welcome them here in the UK. It is a friendship we have treasured ever since.
We shall miss you George.

On behalf of the Town of Hyde Park Historical Society, we would like to express our sympathy in the death of our dear friend and member, George Davis. We were lucky to have heard George's many stories and also to have videotaped him a couple of years ago for our Museum archives. We thank him for his Service to our country during WWII and were glad that his FDR HS ring brought him back home!
With our condolences to Effie and his family. May George rest in peace!

George and Marge lived across the street from my family for many years. I took care of their cat when they traveled and we went skiing with them a few times. George aways told wonderful stories. He will missed.
