Robert Leander Davis

Robert Leander DavisBob was a 20-year survivor of malignant melanoma.

He was raised in Woodinville, Wash., and graduated from Bothell High School in 1957.

He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Carol; his four children, Bob, Scott, Andrea and Jennifer; and nine grandchildren.

Bob and his family lived in the Woodinville - Maltby area in 1965, where Bob built their beautiful home, doing it all by himself, with some help from friends and family.

All the while, Bob was working in construction as a hod carrier.

Bob and Carol moved to Camano Island in 1997. He enjoyed boating, fishing, crabbing and shrimping.

Bob will be remembered for his humor and one-liners (often called "Bobisms") in addition to his willingness to help others, without expecting anything in return.

A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at the Camano Island Yacht Club (129 North Sunset Drive Camano Island) on Sunday, March 7, from 1-4 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.
