Robert Glenn Davis - HIS 1941

Re: Robert G. Davis, Class of 1941

Dear Sir/Madam,

It is with much regret that I announce the passing of my father, Robert Glenn Davis, on October 15^th, 2008.  He was 84 years old.

My Father came to Hershey as a half orphan in 1937 when he was 13 years old. In 1941, he graduated and was sent to Chicago to work at Link-Belt Company.  He was 17 years old and was given $500 and a new suit of clothes.  More than that, he was given an education and upbringing that allowed him to be a successful electrician, father, husband, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, and friend.

One of his fond memories was seeing Mr. Hershey (yes, Milton S. himself!) come by the farm in a car.   Mr. Hershey would wave and sometimes would stop and chat.

My Dad always spoke very highly of his time at Hershey and it definitely changed his life for the better,

Thank you so much.

Best Regards,

 

James B. Davis
