William C. Davis, III
September 15, 1942 ~ November 15, 2014
William Clyde Davis III, father, grandfather, retired Xerox executive, motivator and playful instigator, lost his battle to pancreatic cancer November 5, 2014. Also known as "Pops", he was passionate about his family and friends - loved spending time with them and was a very engaged grandparent.
Bill's hallmark was his amazing wit with a sense of humor that never waned. He was unconventional and had a larger than life personality, as anyone who had met him would attest. A creative writer and storyteller, he wrote memorable keepsake letters and shared his legendary stories. He used this talent in providing counsel to his closest friends and family, and had a knack for making those he touched feel understood and important.
His extensive knowledge, hobbies and interests included painting, singing (notably Johnny Cash songs), gardening, roses, pumping iron, cars, women, cooking, dive bars, brunch at the Breakers, garage sales and family.
He is survived by his children (Nancy, Tim and William IV), his siblings (Bob, Marilyn and Jocelyn) and his grandchildren (Chase, Dakota, Jacqueline, Jessica and Hunter). He will be missed. We are thankful for the many memories and the laughter.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, November 15 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Money & King Funeral Home, 171 W. Maple Ave., Vienna, VA
