Obituary of Sanford Davis

Sanford Davis, 78, passed away Thursday, July 01, 2010 at Nathan Littauer Hospital in Gloversville. He was born February 14, 1932 in Northville, the son of the late Andrew and Leona Conklin Davis. He was last employed at Coleco Industries in Gloversville. On December 11, 2004, he was united in marriage to the former Evelyn Hayes, who survives. They spent over six wonderful years together. Sanford enjoyed playing on his computer, watching the television shows Ice Road Truckers, Walker, Texas Ranger and X-Men, collecting tools, playing Rummy and watching action and western movies. He was a fun guy who liked to make funny faces. A generous man, he always put others ahead of himself. If you ever needed anything, all you had to do was ask. He will be very sadly missed.
