William Secord Davis
1924-2022
It is with tremendous sadness that the family of William
Secord Davis, in his 99th year, announces his passing at the Veterans
Health Centre, Moncton, NB, on December 7, 2022. Born in
Smiths Creek, NB, he was the first son of the late Ralph and Doris
(Secord) Davis.
Bill proudly served in World War II with the 8th New
Brunswick Hussars Reserve 1942-1944 as a telegraphist on the HMCS
French and the HMCS Winnipeg, as well as with the Algerine
Minesweepers along the North Atlantic coastline escorting the merchant
supply ships destined for Europe.
He was actively involved with the Royal Canadian Legion, the
Steven Masonic Lodge, the Moncton Luxor Shrine Club, and was a member
of the Luxor Mini-Kar unit for many years.
Dearly loved father of Alanna (Ray Coates). Grandfather of
Meaghan (Peter Messere). Great-grandfather to Hudson and
Spencer. Survived by his brother Allen (Joyce), brother-in-law George
Robinson, and sister-in-law Florence.
Besides his parents, Bill is predeceased by his wife Margaret
(Cameron) Davis, brothers Eugene (Geraldine) and Harold, sisters
Pauline (Lew MacAfee) and Betty Robinson and infant sister Dianne. He
will be truly missed by all those who knew and loved
him.
We wish to thank the entire staff and volunteers at the
Moncton Veterans Health Centre for their kindness, compassion, and
conscientious care of Bill during the past three years. We
cannot begin to express our sincere gratitude to everyone
there. What a wonderful group of people who really love what
they do!
In lieu of flowers we ask that you please make a donation in
Bill’s memory to the Moncton chapter of the Royal Canadian
Legion or the Moncton Shrine Club.
As per Bill’s wishes, some of his ashes will be
placed in one of his favourite places in Penobquis, NB. A
family service will be held in the spring at his final resting place
at Saint George’s Cemetery, Parrsboro, NS. Arrangements have
been entrusted to Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center,
330 Whitepine Rd, Riverview (869-2007).
