Member Billy Davis Passes Away

Retired I.B.E.W. Local 104 member William “Billy” Davis died July 5.

The 69-year-old Raymond, N.H., resident was tragically killed after his
truck left Route 102 and struck a tree. Police said a preliminary
investigation indicates a pre-existing condition may have contributed to the accident.

Billy was born on March 30, 1940, in Brentwood, the son George E. and Althea Davis. A lifelong resident of Raymond, he was employed for more than 50 years as a journeyman lineman with Local 104 before retiring last year.

He was a skilled and hardworking man who was a great teacher of his trade.

Billy enjoyed entertaining others by singing and playing guitar. He had played drums for the Raymond Drum and Bugle Corps.

Billy was predeceased by a daughter, Melissa Lussier, in 2007. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Sally A. Davis; four sons, Donald C. Davis, Ronald K. Davis, William E. Davis Jr. and Richard A. Davis; and two daughters, Wanda R. Pelkey and Jennifer J. Smith of Alstead; 18 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.
