Paul Davis Obituary
He was born on February 15, 1954, in Key West, FL, the son of the late Stanley and Katherine McGuire Davis. He worked at Revere Copper Products as a machinist. Paul loved camping, hunting, and fishing with his dad when he was young and later weekend camping with friends. He also loved music, especially Frank Zappa, and attended hundreds of concerts. He loved Jeopardy and was VERY good at it. He had an opinion about everything and was a great storyteller, spending hours debating an issue or reminiscing with friends and family. He was intelligent and kind and had a quick and witty sense of humor. He viewed life as a big adventure and enjoyed every day that he had. He will be missed by many.
Paul is survived by his partner in life, Holly Osterhoudt, and her son, John (Candice) Phelps, and his children, Layne, Elin, and Mila; his sisters, Dawn Jones, and Kathleen (Richard) Palinski; two nephews, David Palinski and Matthew Keys; and his niece, Lori Keys. He was predeceased by his nephew, Jon Keys.
A graveside service will be held on Friday, July 18, 2025, at 11 AM, at Evergreen Cemetery in the Town of Lee. There will be a time for sharing memories during the service.
