Charles Paul Davis passed away Friday, March 1, at his home in Pittsfield.
Born March 21, 1958, Charles was a longtime resident of Sheffield. He attended Mount Everett Regional School and was currently working at Custom Extrusion Inc. until his illness caused him to leave. Charles loved fishing, hunting, playing his guitar and singing country music, but most of all, he loved sharing stories about his life. Every story he told left a mark or impact on all who knew him.
Charles leaves behind his wife, Terry, of 33 years—the couple was married Dec. 16, 1985, in Sheffield; his two daughters: Brenda Davis Eichstedt of Sheffield and husband Michael, and Amanda Davis of Pittsfield and boyfriend Scot; Richard Ball of Stockbridge, whom he considered his son; four grandchildren: Auston, Mikalyn and Emaily Eichstedt and Anthony Davis; two sisters: Sandra Trudeau and husband Mort, and Donna Handlowich; and one brother: Richard Davis. Charles also leaves behind loving mother-in-law Diane Martin and father-in-law Richard “Buzz” Hankey, along with many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother, Mabel Elizabeth Nash; and his sister Rose Marie Parmalee.
Calling hours will be held Saturday, March 16, from noon to 2 p.m. at Finnerty & Stevens Funeral Home in Great Barrington. Services will follow. A gathering for the celebration of his life will be held after the services at the Great Barrington VFW. All are welcome. To send remembrances to the family, go to www.finnertyandstevens.com.
