He attended the University of Maine at Orono to major in education and played baseball. After his freshman year, he enlisted in the army for 2 years where he earned the rank of sergeant.

When his father became ill, Roger returned home to continue the farm operations. In 1959 Roger began building a camp on Sebec Lake. Roger enjoyed summers on the lake with family and friends where special memories will live on with future generations. Roger married Deborah on August 4,1962 at the Methodist Church in Dover-Foxcroft. They had 3 children; Rae, Dean, and Mary. Roger was a great family man and a loving father.

Roger was a member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and ran a men’s softball team called the AC’s. He was an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants. Roger was hired as Superintendent of Building and Grounds at Foxcroft Academy, his second home, for thirty years. Roger enjoyed his job at FA and the Pony tradition all the while making sure the buildings and the athletic fields were ready for all events. He also assisted in building sets for music and drama productions. In 2011, Foxcroft Academy introduced the first Hall of Fame class. The following is part of Roger’s biography for his induction, “Roger Davis is truly a Foxcroft Academy icon. In addition to being a stellar athlete at FA in football, cross country, basketball, and baseball, a star baseball player at the University of Maine, and a valued coach and mentor at FA, one only needs to look around the Foxcroft Academy campus to see his biggest contribution to Pony athletics. Because of the vision and passion of Roger Davis, FA’s athletes now have the privilege of playing on the finest fields in the state.” Roger was very proud of Rae, Dean, and Mary and their accomplishments. He attended all their school and athletic events. Once his grandchildren were born, he and Deborah would travel all over Maine to attend their many various school and athletic events. He would make sure to wear Bulldog, Trojan, Ram, Golden Bears and Beaver attire for the event. Roger enjoyed assisting in many building and remodeling projects at his children’s homes. The grandchildren brought great joy and entertainment for Roger and he was a big part of their lives. Whenever he saw his grandchildren, a big smile would come across his face. “Grampy” taught them many lifelong activities including carpentry skills, shooting, water skiing and assisting them with their athletic skills.
