Throughout our lives we face many challanges, but in the end we all meet the same fate. What matters most, is how we lived. That's what defines us.
You lived your life simply but with greatness. You loved to drive bulldozers and at a young age you knew that is what you wanted to do. This, my friend, you did with great precision.
Then one day, like so many others, you went to war. At the end, you came home with an aged wisdom. A wisdom known and understood only by those that were there. You are now and forever, a part of history.
You were a great man. I thank God for allowing our paths to cross. You will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved you. You are forever in my heart.

Mr. Davey,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served as an Army Engineer during WW II in the CBI. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. The CBI was sometimes called the forgotten theater of WW II but the men who served there served under extreme hardship with very few men and little supplies yet they achieved the impossible by completing the Burma Ledo Road which helped keep China in the War and bring supplies into China from India overland instead of having to be flown by plane over the "Hump"-The Himalayan Mountains which the Americans had to do for the first few years of the War. I'm sorry for going on and on but whenever I read about what our men had to go through during WW II I am always in awe.
