James V. Davis Jr. ’66

The class received word in July that James Davis died Dec. 9, 2013.

A graduate of The Hill School in Pottstown, Pa., and a resident of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., James entered Princeton with our class in the fall of 1962. He joined Dial Lodge. He later withdrew from Princeton and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1967.

At the time of his death, he had been married to Beau Jones Davis for 26 years. Over the years, they resided in Chicago; Apple Valley Lake, Ohio; and Tucson, Ariz. They were residents of Grosse Pointe when he died.

Water activities were his passion. He was an avid boatman and loved fishing.

In addition to Beau, James is survived by daughters Kathryn and Barbara, and his sister, Marilyn. The class extends its sympathy to them.
