Thomas “Tom” Rodgers Davis, 83, of Emmaus, died Feb. 25, 2026. Born in Pittsburgh, he was the son of the late Thomas and Eleanor (Kuntz) Davis and was a lifelong Pittsburgh sports fan.

He was a CPA and worked for Merck, Westinghouse and Lehigh Portland Cement before starting his own firm in Allentown. He happily retired in 2017.

He graduated from Lafayette College in 1964, which gave him a love of history, many lasting friendships with Sigma Chi brothers and 66 years of contempt for Lehigh. He received his MBA from Penn State.

He loved supporting his daughters, grandsons and neighbors’ kids at their sporting events, driving near and far to cheer from the stands. Until recently, he loved traveling to National Parks, giving tours of Gettysburg National Battlefield and was active in the Lehigh Valley Torch Club and the Berks Photographic Society, where his photos won awards.

He is survived by Louise (Wetzel) Davis, his wife of 58 years; daughter, Meredith (Kris) Pound, of Durham, Maine; daughter, Allison (Joe Cafferata) Davis, of Washington, DC; grandsons, Jonathan Thomas (JT) and Drew, both of Durham, Maine. His family knows he is now enjoying time with his best friends, his basset hounds, Goofy, Hoover, Bogie, Mavis, Flanders and Hubert, Cagney, the Chihuahua.

A celebration of his life will be held noon March 14 at Schantz Funeral Home, P.C., 250 Main St., Emmaus. Visitation will be held 10 a.m. to noon in the funeral home.

Contributions can be made to Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue or to a charity of your choice.
