Norton "Skee" Davis Jr.

Norton was a proud retired Navy Veteran. He started his military career in the Air Force, where he did 3 years, then transferred to the Navy for another 19 years. He loved to talk about his military career with other veterans or anyone who would listen. He served in the Vietnam War and visited over 30 countries. After he retired from the Navy, he worked at Gates Formed Fiber for another 20 years. He never missed a day of work there and always loved his job. He delivered flowers for Dube’s Flower Shop for a short time after he retired, for something to do. He enjoyed that up until he couldn’t drive any longer.

Norton loved reading, playing games, bowling, camping with his wife Janice in their RV, and watching many sports on TV. His favorite color was yellow, which is perfect since his wife Janice loved yellow roses. He was a very easy-going man, everyone who knew him liked him. He would talk your ear off. He kept up on current events, loved his TIME and Sports Illustrated magazines, and answering questions on Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Unfortunately, he had a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease, gradually forgetting the things he liked to do and fading away from his loved ones. For the past few years he was cared for at home by his wife of over 50 years Janice L. Davis, with help from their daughter Mary-Jo and son in law Robert who live in the area, and Andwell Hospice the last 2 weeks. His daughter Lisa and husband Rob played an important role helping them utilize the VA benefits that helped care for him for past few years.

He is survived by his wife Janice L. Davis of Auburn, daughters, Mary-Jo Romero of Mechanic Falls, Me and Lisa Marie Smith of Ocean Springs, MS. His grandchildren and great grandchildren and his sisters Barbara Richards and Cindy Watt. Brothers James Davis and Scott Davis. 2 foster brothers, Sheldon Walton and John Lee.

Norton was predeceased by his parents, Norton Davis, Sr and Emma Paquette Davis. His sister Gloria, and brothers Richard and Fred.

There will be no services per family request. They do ask if you are able to donate to the Alzheimer’s Association (https://www.alzfdn.org) to help continue to try to find a cure for this horrible disease.
