Richard "Dick" Davy

After a long journey with Alzheimer's disease, Dick died peacefully on the morning of January 17, 2026, with his wife Liz at his side.

Born on September 1, 1937, to Ralph Thomas and Elizabeth Booher Davy, he was one of five children growing up in Broomall, Pennsylvania.

Dick lived an active life and had a deep love for sports and the outdoors. He was especially devoted to lacrosse and volunteered as both a coach and mentor to hundreds of students throughout the years. Together Dick and Liz embraced every season-biking, hiking, golfing, and cross-country skiing. He was an exceptional gardener and a wonderful cook.

Dick is survived by his loving and grateful wife of 34 years, Liz; his daughter Ashley Donayre and her husband Jay, and grandchildren Olivia and Ryan; his daughter Jennifer Davy; and his son Richard Christopher Davy and his wife Beatriz, and grandson Matthew.

The marriage of Dick and Liz created the "Davy Bunch," and he is also survived by Liz's children: Jeane Baltzersen; John Baltzersen and his wife Michelle; and Paul, and Paul's daughter Hazel.

Other survivors include his sisters, Elizabeth Jane Davy and Margaret Davy; Linda Fallon, the mother of his children; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

The family is forever grateful for the love and support shown by family members, friends, and neighbors-and most especially for the care and compassion of the staff at The Grande at South Portland and Compassus Hospice.

Friends and family are invited to a celebration of Dick's life on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at St. Alban's Episcopal Church, 885 Shore Road, Cape Elizabeth. A reception will immediately follow at the church.
