SCOTIA - Donald P. Davis, 82, passed away on Saturday, February 7, 2026. He was born in Ticonderoga, N.Y., on August 3, 1943, to John and Gladys Davis.
Don was a computer programmer for Watervliet Arsenal for many years and later worked for the NYS Department of Tax and Finance. He enjoyed being outdoors camping, hunting or playing golf.

My Condolences to Don's family. I worked with Don in the planning department and he taught me how to program. He was a great person, friendly and I enjoyed working with and knowing him.

I was very sad to hear the news of Don's passing. Don was a longtime and well-respected member of the Fineline Mixed bowling league. I met him and his daughter, Dawn, when I joined the league briefly in the early 1990s. I got to know him better when I returned to the league several years later and became the league secretary. Two things I will always remember about Don were his unique bowling style and, more importantly, that he was a hell of a nice guy. Always pleasant, always smiling and laughing, I don't think I ever heard him say a negative thing about anyone. A fact that was reflected in him being one of the earliest winners of the league's sportsmanship award, voted on by his fellow league members. I always enjoyed bowling with and against Don...always a tough and gracious competitor. My sincere condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
