LAKEPORT, Calif. – Frank Davis (Lee Franklin Davis) was born Dec. 16, 1933, in Olney, Texas. He left this world Nov. 23, 2016, in Lakeport.

On Jan. 24, 1951, Frank entered the U.S. Army at the age of 17 years old serving in Germany and in Korea. Frank enjoyed and was very proud of his military service. During his three years of service he received the Korean Service Medal with two bronze service stars, the United Nations Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal,  and the Army Occupation Medal for Service in Germany. Frank was honorably discharged on Jan. 8, 1954.

After the Army Frank got on with life. He was a hard worker, always providing for his family. He could do most anything. He worked in sawmills, gas stations, worked for a plumber until he had his own plumbing business and spent almost 20 years working at Mount Konocti Growers until he retired.

Retirement was really just a word as he never stopped working. He loved his work and could work most men into the ground. He loved to work around the ranch, built and repaired all sorts of things, helped friends and family and loved cutting firewood.

Frank wasn't much of a conversationalist, and he had a dry sense of humor. He loved to fish, and liked walking with his dogs that he loved dearly. Most of all he liked being with his kids and grandkids and helping them; all you had to do was ask Frank, Dad, Grandpa or Papa.

Frank was loved and will be dearly missed.

Frank is survived by his wife, Anne; two daughters, Cindy and Sandy; two sons, Darrell and Brian; 11 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and four siblings. He is predeceased by four siblings.

He dearly loved his kids and their kids, was a good husband and provider and would do anything for his family.  

A celebration of life will be held at the American Legion Hall at 5005 Second St, Kelseyville, on Dec. 16. All friends and family are welcome and encouraged to attend. They will be gathering at noon with the Lake County Military Funeral Honors at 12:30 p.m. and lunch to follow after the service.
