DescriptionFormer U.S. Rep. Bob Davis, an ex-funeral home owner who represented northern Lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula for seven terms in Congress, died today. He was 77.

Mr. Davis “had been sick for a while” and suffered kidney and heart failure before dying in a hospice in Arlington, Va., said Mark Ruge, the congressman’s former chief of staff.

“He was a great man who just cared very much for the people of his district,” Ruge said. “He was a people guy.”

Mr. Davis served in Congress from 1979 to 1993 and in recent years worked as a lobbyist in the Washington, D.C., area.
