I remember Mr. Davis through his son John. We took some classes together at PC, played ball and watched kung-fu movies. His dad seemed to be well on the road to recovery several days after being shot to the point he was demanding food a bit more substantial than he had been receiving to date but his full recovery was not to be. I know he had requested steak along with the usual sides. I didn't see him often but I was always respectful and he treated me likewise. The smooth action on that snubnosed .38 or .357 revolver he carried was truly incedible. My best to John and his family.
