Reflections for Officer Harry Davis, Jr.

As we prepare to honor your sacrifice of 30-years ago, know that the Metro Transit Police Department and fellow officers - most who you have never met - will visit the Law Enforcement Memorial to pay homage and respect! I wanted you and your family to know you will NEVER be forgotten.

Harry Davis Junior, Cousin Jr. I'm driving for National Police Week for the 2nd year and I recall Gloria giving me a call in Altoona,Pa. to say You lost your life in the line of duty. We were closest in age and tight since 5 when You pushed me into the creek LoL. I never metYour wife and son and haven't seen Sue since we were teenagers. But I always enjoyed when Momma said Parthinia and Jr are coming to visit. May You Both be reunited with Big Harry and the family and have eternal life with Our Heavenly Father, Amen.

Thinking of you today, I can't help but remember "all" of the fun and happy times we shared growing up and throughout our adulthood. You were much more to me than a cousin. You were my fourth brother! I miss our many conversations of just about anything (LOL), your humor, laughter and sense of wonder! You will be forever in my heart! As always with Love! Rest In Peace!!

Harry Davis was my best childhood friend. We did everything together. I still cry to this day about his death. He was truly a good man and friend

Harry Davis and I served together during Desert Storm, he was such a wonderful man and a great soldier. We had some really good times over there, some great conversations. I think of you often. I was just starting my Law enforcement career when you were taken. It was a terrible day. Rest in peace my friend. I know I should have done this sooner but thank you for your dedication, service and sacrifice I hope to see you again someday. God be with your family.

I still miss you everyday.
Its amazing that I am 32 years old now and still can remember every detail of you.
My own little family got to see what kind of person you were and how many sould you've touched when we went to your memorial. My son was there and that was meaningful to me.

Officer Harry,

I am a new recruit with Metro Transit Police and I was given the assignment to research you. I came across this page and could not stop reading the reflections that everyone has posted. They were very touching. I would have loved to had the opportunity to work with you. It appears that you were a "stand up" cop. On behalf of Recruit Class 111, I would like to personally thank you for all your services (police, fire, and military), and want to assure you that you are not forgotten.

Mrs. Cathy thank you for being a supportive spouse and allowing your husband to serve in such enormous capacities. I can truly tell that you guys were giving people. I loved reading your yearly entries and can tell you were happily married. I know your husband has a special place in your heart and without even getting to know him, he plays a special role in what/how I will perform my duties on a daily basis. Thank you!

More than twenty three years have passed since I left the MTPD. In that time, I have met thousands of people from all walks of life. I can still state that Harry Davis is one of the finest men I have ever had the pleasure to know. I can still recall his sincerity and kindness. He took time for me when I was a young rookie and he was one of the most popular members of the department. To paraphrase Maya Angelou, I don't recall exactly what we talked about or exactly what was said, but I remember the way he made me feel. He inspired me to be a better officer, but more importantly, a better man. Harry was the total package, and I still think of him often.
Rest in Peace, Harry. You are not forgotten.

Harry, was my personal friend and co-corporate officer: he served as Vice president of our fire company. i would sometimes have dinner at his home with his wife and small children. This reflection is getting too tough to write so I will close by saying; I will always miss my friend and fellow public safety officer
