William C. Davis, 73, of Springbrook Township, died Friday afternoon surrounded by his loving family Allied Skilled Nursing Center, Scranton.  HIs wife was the former Cheryl Forster.  The couple celebrated 37 years of marriage on December 22nd.

Born May 6, 1950 in Scranton, son of the late Warren and Gladys Kessler Davis, Bill was employed as a truck driver by Campos Express and then prior to retirement as the Park Manager for Mt. Laurel Trailer Park.  He was of the Baptist faith.

Family was most important to Bill.  Always Johnny on the spot for anything and everything anyone could need, Bill was everyone’s go to guy.  He enjoyed working on trucks and cars prior to his illness.  Bill was a people person, and would always have a joke or comment to put a smile on everyone’s face.  But most of all, Bill spend much time being in awe of the wonders of God’s creation, especially women.  There is a hole in our hearts that he is gone, but it is so filled with joy for having had him there.

Surviving in addition to his wife are: his daughter, Stacey Lacek, and husband, Mike, Covington Twp., a son, Scott Forster, and wife, Cindy, Texas, and “adopted son”, Tony Bader, Jefferson Twp; grandchildren, Jaimin, Ryan, Scott, and Ann; sisters, Susan Clark, and husband, Wayne, Lake Sheridan, and Elizabeth Fernandez, and husband, Peter, Southold, NY; several nieces and nephews.

Bill has joined his children, Wesley and Wendy Davis, and grandson, Little Tony in heaven.

A Celebration of Bill’s Life will be held on Wednesday at 6 PM in the Kevin K. Kearney Funeral Home, Inc., 125 N. Main Avenue, Scranton, with Rev. Dr. Michael Shambora, officiating.
