I'm 85 now and it has become apparent that I'm never going to live long enough to be the special human being that Tom Davis was.

Dear Mrs. Davis and the whole Davis clan...my deepest condolences to all of you for the loss of your precious husband/father.

Mr. Davis was such an accomplished man and proud Vermonter, who I learned after reading his beautiful obituary believed in, stood for and fought for so many causes that are near and dear to my heart. Of course as a young person growing up with the Davis kids, I knew him as my friend's Dad who always had an easy smile and kind word.

Thank you Dolly, and thank you to each of the Davis children, for giving me this opportunity to honor my friend Tom, a man for whom I had great respect and affection.

Shakespeare wrote:

The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;

That was ironic; Shakespeare meant just the opposite.

And Tom Davis's life shows us that it is the good we do that survives us.

I still remember the day I met...

i use to live one house up the hill from him on park st i was friend with his nine childred a very nice man mary marion delano hanson

Boy I feel so fortunate to have been able to experience a small portion of your Dad. He was truly a Vermont icon. I am not sure how many people realized what he meant to Vermont and to Barre. I loved talking with him and loved his contributions to Vermont's history. I bought all of his signed books for my son. JP was sad to hear Tom had passed.
His strength was knowing who he was but not bragging about it. He always had his hand out for someone. My thoughts and prayers are with his...

First of all, thank you everyone for the wonderful messages. Secondly, thank you Grampa for being one of the most incredible humans I've ever met. Until we meet again on the wonderful golf courses of the afterlife. You are forever loved and missed.

Vermont has lost an extraordinary man.
