                          Monday, June 3, 2019

  Mr. JOYCE of Ohio. Madam Speaker, today I wish to honor the life and 
legacy of Mr. Robert W. Davis of Cortland, Ohio who passed away 
surrounded by his loving family on Thursday May 23, 2019. I rise to pay 
tribute to his life's work as an educator and mentor who instilled a 
strong and deep understanding of government and civic responsibility to 
the generations of young people he taught throughout his distinguished 
career at Maplewood High School in Northeast Ohio.
  Bob was a 1967 graduate of Hubbard High School in Hubbard Ohio, and 
in 1971 graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Education and later a 
Master's Degree from Youngstown State University.
  Mr. Davis was a government and social studies teacher at Maplewood 
High School for 35 years, retiring in 2006, where he also was an 
assistant principal and taught driver's education. He also was the past 
president of Lakeview Band Boosters. He enjoyed sharing his love for 
music and social studies with young people. But most importantly, he 
encouraged his students to be active and informed citizens who 
participate and appreciate our democratic process.
  He was presently employed by the Trumbull County Board of Elections, 
and an active member of the Trumbull County Republican Party. Bob was a 
member of Grace Lutheran Church of Hubbard Ohio, a former Sunday School 
Superintendent, and also started the recycling center at the church. It 
is evident that Bob lived a life of full of service to his community, 
and applied his deep values and principles to all aspects of his life.
  He will be sadly missed by his family; his wife the former Deborah A. 
Drummond whom he married August 2, 1975; his son William Paul Davis and 
his wife Alison of Dublin, Ohio, and two grandchildren Jacqueline Clare 
and Parker Joseph. Beside his parents, he was preceded in death by his 
in-laws William D. & Dorothy Drummond, and his sister-in-law Marsha S. 
Drummond.
  I extend my deepest sympathies to the many family and friends whose 
lives were blessed by Bob Davis.
