Robert "Bob" Davidson

ROBERT "BOB" DAVIDSON IDAHO FALLS, ID -- Robert Clint “Bob” Davidson, 73, of Idaho Falls, passed away March 28, 2004, at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. Bob was born May 25, 1930, in Salem, Idaho, the older brother of Steve and Deanne, and the son of Robert Leon Davidson and Ruth Archibald Leatham Davidson. He spent his growing up years traveling with his family as his father was a heavy equipment mechanic who worked in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the depression. Upon graduating from high school in Seaside, Oregon, Bob came back to Rexburg to be near family. There he met and fell in love with Billie J. Wood. They were married in 1952, and from this union came three children, Robbi, Stephanie, and Ron. Bob devoted his life to his family by working hard to provide a good home with his wife for their family in Jackson, Wyoming. He enjoyed time with them, skiing, boating, camping, picnicking, or whatever activity would get us all out together. As the kids grew he shared his love of dancing with them. Mom appreciated this, as he could dance his wife and two daughters into the ground. He could still outsmart the fish – which is a passion he ignited in his son also. His retirement was well spent with Billie on the road in their RV. He always did love driving. Bob worked hard to play hard. Bob is survived by his sister, Deanne (Merle) Lindley of Caldwell, Idaho, his wife, Billie, of Idaho Falls, two daughters, Robbi (Todd) Kimsey of Jacksonville, Florida, and Stephanie (Dick) Cuthriell of Thayne, Wyoming, a son, Ron (Shannon) Davidson of Grand Junction, Colorado, his grandchildren, Ruthie (Pigeon Poo), Shawnee, and Jessica, and a great granddaughter, Makenzy.

The family will visit with friends Wednesday for one hour prior to the services at Wood East Side Chapel. Burial will be in the Annis-Little Butte Cemetery under the direction of Wood Funeral Home East Side.
