Former Newton Mayor and City Commissioner Glen Davis had his family at the commission meeting when he became mayor. That’s according to current Newton Mayor Leroy Koehn. “He wanted them to share that moment and how much it meant to him,” Koehn said. “Newton was lucky to have a man like Glen who advocated for many people who couldn’t advocate for themselves.” Davis died Dec. 18 at Overland Park Regional Medical Center at the age of 74. Koehn said he first knew of Glen and Becky Davis 40 years ago when they were owners of Pizza Inn on Meridian.
