Frank E. Davis, 69, of Newtown, died unexpectedly October 27 at Danbury Hospital. He was born in Danbury, April 29, 1944, to Gladys (Morgan) and Lorin Davis.

Mr Davis attended Bethel schools and graduated from Bethel High School in the Class of 1962. He worked for the Bard Parker Company and was employed by Perkin-Elmer for more than 20 years, where he worked on the Hexagon Satellite and the Hubbell Telescope. He was also employed by Pitney Bowes before retiring, due to illness.

In his spare time, Mr Davis enjoyed working on remodeling projects on his home and yard. Being a true Yankees and Giants fan, he supported both teams throughout their ups and downs. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family, and was very proud of his children and grandchildren.
