Robert Davis Obituary
1947 - 2012
Dr. Robert J. Davis, Jr., B.A. Loyola University of Los Angeles -1969, D.D.S. U.C.L.A.-1973, was born July 4, 1947, and passed away March 13, 2012. Dr. Bob, as he was affectionately known, moved to Weaverville soon after dental school, and it was the fulfillment of his dream, as stated in his UCLA yearbook: "...plan to spend some time camping and traveling before settling down to be a town-dentist and nice guy in some northern woods hamlet." Weaverville was that dream come true, and he loved it here. While dentistry was his profession, it was not his obsession. Dr. Bob, a long time member of the Clampers, loved his family, his friends, baseball and traveling. Over his long softball career, with various local teams, he played almost every position, and seldom missed a game or ball tournament anywhere in the local area.
He took many trips across the country, and he especially enjoyed the baseball stadium tour that he took with Weaverville friends during the summer of 2000. He also saw his favorite team, the Philadelphia Phillies, play in various cities: Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Baltimore, Oakland, New York, Atlanta and Seattle. He visited with his family at least once a year, in either Florida, Maryland or Michigan. He loved local high school sports, and was a fixture at the Trinity High's games throughout the county. His enthusiasm for the Wolves will be sorely missed.
Dr. Bob was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Charlotte. He is survived by his son and best friend, Robert J. (Bobby) Davis III and Sandy Perez. Also by his father, Robert J. Davis, Sr., Major, USAF (Ret); sister Cherie (Davis) Romane, and brother Michael Davis and wife Cheryl. And by niece Patricia (Davis) Spiegel and husband Michael; nephew Brian Davis; and grand nephew Greyson Spiegel. And by Dusty and Tony, two men who were like grandsons.
There will be a memorial gathering to honor Dr. Bob at Scatena Field on May 12, 2012, to celebrate his life with joy, memories and baseball.

Here's a photo of the 18 year-old Bob, ready to take on the world, full of promise and hope, with a mean left jab and a punishing right cross. Bob, we'll miss you forever. Thank God we were blessed with meeting you here on earth.
Your pal,

Bob and I met at Loyola in the Fall of 1965. We had all our courses together, dorm life, intramural sports, and then four years of grad school, flag football, etc.. We were close by when I worked in Anderson and he started in WV - camping, fishing, etc. Bob was one of the most popular guys in college and grad school. I'm sorry to say we were out of touch for the last many years. I blame myself for that. Hey, Bob -- can you hear me? Poker game tonight, 6p.m., beers on me.

I firt met Bob when he moved to weaverville in the early 70's. We became good friends instantly. He was a great guy always ready for a game or party. We went to many softball tournaments and had a great time. It was a sad day when he passed. Weaverville lost a good friend. I will miss him a lot.
