Memories and Condolences
for George Davis

Not sure what to say?





George was my first pre-school playmate, on Westborne Avenue, in the late 1930s. We went through 12 years of school together, graduated in 1953 from Zanesville Lash High...and attended our 60th class reunion this August, where George treated the class to a ride on the Lorena river boat. Godspeed, old friend. And may God comfort your loving family and friends.

Mr. Davis will be missed so much by my Mom, Barbara Reynolds, and the other residents at Carrington Place of Chesapeake. I know whenever he was entertaining them, my mom would let me know so I wouldn't come so she could watch his show. I was privileged to see one myself, and he was awesome. Thank you for all the fun and enjoyment you brought to everyone. You will be missed.

I have great memories of times with my Dad visiting his hometown of Zanesville, including his boyhood home at 606 Westborne Ave, filling up the gas tank at Ross's Service Station and muptiple trips to Tom's Ice Cream bowl. He loved his hometown and still was best friends with his old classmates from (then) Lash High School, class of 1953. There was a person he couldn't talk to and get to know and I am grateful that all of you were a part of that!
