Mr. Davis was born July 30, 1922, in Showell, Md. to the late Vaughn and Preely Davis. He was a welder with the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company, and a member of the Iron Workers Union. He was a playfully ornery man, who loved life and was animated. He often said, “I’ve gotta go to town to buy a duck” as an excuse to go for a drive. He loved driving.

Norman is survived by his wife of 66 years, Margaret S. Davis of Millsboro; one daughter, Cindy Catts of Georgetown; a brother, Ernest Davis of Georgetown; a sister-in-law, Kathleen Fleetwood; and four grandchildren, Kimberly Marvel, Jessica Catts, Christina Catts and Alvin Foraker.
