Belfast, Maine
George H. Davis IV of Belfast, Maine, passed away peacefully at Waldo County Hospital on April 22 after a heroic battle with lung cancer. George was born on Nov. 19, 1957 in Hartford, Conn., the son of George Herbert Davis and the late Barbara Hill Davis. He attended Granby Memorial High School and continued on to graduate from a technical school in Simsbury where he excelled in carpentry. He worked in the Farmington River Valley area, honing his skills as a finish carpenter and cabinetmaker.
In 1997 he moved to Maine and soon became a renowned shipbuilder. He shared his talent with the shipyards of Maine, including Lyman Morse and until recently Front Street Shipyard in Belfast. His integrity, work ethic and compassion touched and inspired many. George was a quiet, kind and private man. He loved nature, being on or near the water, trips on his bike, cats, coyotes and ravens. He was a voracious reader, an adventurer and had an unquenchable curiosity for all people and living things. He was a 13th generation “Davis” and many of the admirable traits of our early New England ancestors were apparent in George.
He also leaves many family members and friends behind who will miss him dearly and his best fur buddy, Monkey.
