For 55 years, residents of his small town of 1,170 trusted him to bus their children to and from school. He was proud to say he'd never once gotten in an accident. He was a school bus driver from 1949 to 2005. It was one of the longest jobs he'd ever had -- and perhaps his favorite.So it's appropriate that Davis will be laid to rest in a school-bus yellow casket, stamped with the number 3 -- the number of the first bus he ever drove.Davis was alive to see the casket.
— Post Bulletin February 18, 2020 Davis loved it. "Oh, good gosh, I cried a few times," he told the Post Bulletin in 2015. He was nervous about the first day of school, so his school bus driver held his hand for support Hindt told the paper that the bus driver had comforted his family when his 18-month-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer. Hindt's daughter grew up, cancer-free. And to repay the school bus driver's kindness, he gifted Davis the casket.
That's sweet

The casket is a tribute for Glyn Davis the one who drove bus for children.
R.I.P.
Jeez poor guy. You think you've given up work and then....
Rest In Peace. Such great dedication to his work. America needs people like these to make the nation stronger.
Well deserved tribute. I hope school children of long ago...do, and will still remember Mr. Davis for many years to come.
Our world is better because of such great services. RIP elder
Dude can't ever escape his friggin' job
How thoughtful and wonderful! Very sweet and clever!
It's a nice gesture. But I really do hope that the school buses there do NOT look anything like that...
ugly4real how much do you think this would cost?
🙏🙏🙏
👏👏👏👏
Rest in peace
Gee. Good for him. But I don't want to keep reading this 3 days in a row...
We are all Boxer from animal farm.
Respect🙏
Probably not as big tho.
aw
Respect ✊🏾
I bow down.
They had to stop the procession for five minutes when he unexpectedly put out that little red stop sign. Seriously though, this was a really cool gesture.
Wow
some of these are so crazy and outlandish.. sounds like this one was perfect for him! RIP!
What a lovely tribute and hats off to Glen Davis for going to work for 55 years.
No escape...even in death.
so he has been dead for 15 years? and they are gonna dig him up, and rebury him?
That's fucked. He spent most of his time in a bus which probably hated doing from time to time. you bury him in one? That's the true definition of hell being buried with your work
Imagine being a schoolbus driver and it followingh you to the grave. TRAGIC!
55 years putting up with kids! He's a trooper 👏👏👏
Nyúgodjék békében!
Amazing
Wow! 👏👏👏👏
Why is this necessary?
God rest his soul
At least it's not like China
That is not a good visual !
Wonderful article how the man got the school bus casket a special gift from the funeral home. When he saw it he cried. He was beloved school bus driver by all the kids he too to school from 1949 to 2005
Oh god Please don’t bury me in a cubicle
Awww. 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Amazing he must have beloved by all that knew him How touching. God bless him.
Because nothing says Rest In Peace like a box shaped like your job.
alexliam NO estoy llorando, TÚ estás llorando...
A fitting tribute to a faithful man.
Hmmm … wonder what they would have buried him in if he had installed septic tanks for a living?
I worked in ritzy restrooms handing out warm towels and cleaning toilet bowls with those same towels for 45 years. I’m being interred in a commode. More’s the pity.😲
Ang galing
Wow this made me cry
Hopefully I’ll still be an electrician in 55 years, then I can be buried in a live electrical panel.
What in ghetto hell?
Well great now we need a school bus in the shape of a coffin to balance out the universe.
AWESOME
Smh it’s creative
At least he's driving all the way to heaven....
And for realism, they also buried him with one of the kids he’d drive, really sweet.
They should have put Ghanaians on the case.
🔥🔥🔥
That’s really sweet and I’m certain his family made the right decision having known him best. Having said that if I’m buried in anything that even remotely reminds me of my job I will haunt my family till the end of time with the fiery spirit of vengeance.
did Bluebird Bus have the casket made for a sales convention or some giveaway?
👼
That’s beautiful. Bless his soul.

Prayers and blessings for the family of Mr. Davis.

WHAAAAAT?

RaeganFitz 🥺
RIP. You are one of those people that we are proud of!
Damn that'll probably be the last thing I'd want to see but I get the gesture. Lol
I should be sleeping but these comments are gold 😂
Yobra101 Rest in peace
He lived irrelevant, he undoubtedly died irrelevant, and clearly is getting laid to rest irrelevantly. Fitting.
A Busmans Holiday. Rest in peace buddy.
💔
Damn, let the man retire already.
Do they have another one of these? I need to send one to the NRA...
💗
This is only cool if he believed his job defined who he truly was cause mine is not going to be in the shape of a computer.
RIP Mr Davis...
The wheels of the bus go round and round
Still can't let this guy get a friggin day off!?
From one bus driver to another I salute you sir may you now rest in peace
He must’ve loved kids. Rest In Peace 💜
“Just like” the first school bus he drove? Really? So not an homage to, but a replica of, that bus? Either the CNN socialmedia writers are dreadful at English or poor Glenstadted his career driving a coffin.
SkolviQ MN 🙏
rip
What was Tess Majors casket like? BilldeBlasio andrewcuomo SenSchumer
That gasket is you are showing is better than the life in Nigeria that is wasting everyday we are dying here CNN stand up for truth
When I die, the LAST thing I want to be reminded of is my job.
Would be cool if it had flashing lights and the stop sign comes out the side... but yeah, a beautiful masterpiece for a dedicated driver and protector of kids.
His first school bus looked like a coffin?
Oh this almost made me cry!
Rip
RIP Glen🙏💛
A beautiful tribute. RIP
that's cool
Awww. RIP
