Davis Edwin Foreman

Davis E. “Sonny” Foreman, 95, of Black Lick, PA passed away on Friday, November 25, 2022, at Lynn Haven Personal Care Home, Black Lick, PA.

The son of Davis A. and Inez (Gabelli) Foreman, he was born June 25, 1927, in Palmertown, PA.

Sonny was employed for many years at Torrance State Hospital as an LPN and distributed medications.  After retirement he worked at K-Mart and would dress up as Santa Claus during the holiday season.

Sonny was a very generous man and would insist on always paying at family outings.  Each Christmas he would purchase a bicycle for a needy child off the Gift Tree at Walmart.

He had two real loves in his life, Canadohta Lake (The John Dae Cottage) and trap shooting.  Sonny had won many awards and championships in trap shooting, including hitting 100 out of 100 clays many times.

Surviving are many nieces, nephews, cousins and a special God child, Debbie Robinson of whom he was so proud.

He was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters, Dorothy (Phil) Leddon and Florence Young.

Family and friends will be received on Monday, November 28th from 2PM until the time of the service at 4 PM at the Shoemaker Funeral Home, Inc., 49 N. Walnut St., Blairsville, PA, with Pastor Jack Lucas officiating. 

Private interment will be held in the Blairsville Cemetery.

A special thank you to the Lynn Haven community and staff for their kindness and care during these last few months.  Sonny lived alone and independently until August of this year.
