Mr. Davis is a World War II
Veteran, who moved to SEVC
in the fall of 2017.
He was born in 1926 in
Stratford, PA. He graduated
from Conestoga High School in
June 1944. Two months later,
he was inducted into the Army,
beginning Basic Training at Camp Wheeler, GA in
November 1944. By January 1945, the Fifth Infantry
Division, of which Mr. Davis was a part, joined our troops in
Europe. They took the QE2 to Scotland, and then traveled
to France and Germany. Mr. Davis was a Rifleman 745,
which increased his pay by $10 a month. He fought in the
Battle of the Bulge, which is the largest battle fought on the
Western Front in Europe during World War II.
Mr. Davis returned to Fort Campbell, TN in July 1945. He
was a Technician 5th grade when he was honorably
discharged from the Army in June 1946.
Mr. Davis met his wife, Pauline, at a USO dance and they
married in June 1947. They were married for 65 years, until
her passing in 2011. He and Pauline raised three children.
He has seven grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
Mr. Davis was employed at the Philadelphia Electric
Company. He began as a mechanic and was promoted to
manage the transportation division. He and his wife retired
to Florida and lived on a golf course.
He enjoys fishing, playing golf, and deer watching.
We salute Mr. Davis and thank him for his service.

Daylight Saving Time Means More Than Changing The Clocks
March 11 marks the beginning of Daylight Saving Time. Not only do you need to re-
member to turn your clocks ahead one hour, it’s also a good time to test your smoke
detectors, and replace the batteries.

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
KEITH MARCH CUSTODIAL WORKER 1
Keith is always very helpful and
pleasant to residents and staff. He
goes above and beyond and is
consistently paying attention to
details that other housekeepers
have missed. He does an excellent
job keeping our unit clean and we
are glad to have him. He is very
respectful to staff and residents.
One employee witnessed him
assisting a veteran to clear a spill
and even cleaning the vet’s
wheelchair simply because it was
needed. He is mild-mannered, gentle
with the residents, and a treasure to
this floor. Congratulations Keith!!
