Former Greensburg Grocer Davis Dies

12/22/2014

0 Comments

 
Robert “Bob” Davis, 93, owner of the former Davis Supermarket in Greensburg, Pennsylvania died Monday, December 15, 2014 at his home in Squirrel Hill.

He operated the supermarket for more than 50 years. After he sold the store in 1996, he continued to oversee the Davis Shopping Center on East Pittsburgh Street. He worked three days a week through age 90.

“Bob Davis was retail food in Greensburg,” Ray Charley, an owner of the Charley Brothers Shop ‘n Save stores, told Craig Smith of the Tribune Review. “He was forward-thinking, almost visionary in how to satisfy customers…he was ahead of his time.”

Davis worked to serve the community, especially those in need. He supported organizations such as the Westmoreland County Food Bank, Operation Santa Claus, the Westmoreland County Literacy Council, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and AARP.

He was a veteran of World War II, where he served the U.S. Navy aboard a landing craft off Normandy’s Utah Beach on D-Day.

He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Phyllis; two daughters Carole Davis and Rachel Leah Davis of Israel; two sons James and Steven Davis of Greensburg; 12 grandchildren; and five great grandchildren.

Services were held at Congregation Emanu-El Israel with interment at Emanu-El Cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made to Congregation Emanu-El Israel, 222 N. Main Street, Greensburg, PA 15601.
