Like many others Tim hired me for my first real job. I was fresh out of High School and had little ambition or direction. In Tim I found a role model and father figure who shaped my work ethic and sense of family. My time working for Tim at an important period of my life helped make me the person I am today. I consider Tim to be one of three key mentors in my life.

I am honored to have spent the time I did with Tim and his family. My heart goes out to the Davis family for the loss of a great man.

Dear Jan, Grant, Arthur and Emily:
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Tim was a true servant in his time with us and a great inspiration to me in Rotary. He immediatley welcomed me to the club and his warmth and friendship will never be forgotten. Nor will yours, so please don't hesitate to call if I can help in any way. Many, many friends share your loss.
Fondly,

Dear Jan and kids--Emily, Arthur and Grant,
How saddened we were to learn of our cousin Tim's passing so suddenly! We know your hearts are hurting and very heavy right now. Please know that you are all in our daily thoughts and prayers.
Tim will certainly be missed by the Davis family. One of my
fondest memories of my cousin is having Thanksgiving dinner at one
of the Davis familiy's homes and listening to Tim talk and laugh! His laughter and light-heartedness was infectious. Tim had a smile that made you want to smile when you saw him. He will be greatly missed!
Please let us know if we can help you in anyway Jan and family.
Sorry we cannot be in attendance at the Celebration of Tim's Life this week-end! We will definitely be there in thought! Vince and our mother, Betty, will be attending though.
May God's blessings and Love shine upon you in your time of grief.
Love,
Sandy (Pollard) Corso --Tim's cousin---Valparaiso, IN
and Lenny, Andrea and Erica

Jan, Emily, Arthur & Grant:

We can never, ever, ever forget our terrific cousin. Tim motivated us. He inspired us. He entertained us! Two words bring Tim to our minds: "Good times"! What a tremendous guy and person; a marvelous legacy for each of the Davis children and for us all. The memories of Tim are so enduring.

I never met Tim, but heard all things good about him. As a past owner of Bison I always wanted to ask him about Bison history that I was unaware of. Those stories are now gone forever!.....RIP Tim....

I have great memories of hanging out at Bison Creek in West Seattle with the other 17-year-olds like myself that Tim tolerated so well! We all grew up during that time. Tim, we'll never forget you!

I have fond memories of Tim as my first boss at Bison Creek Pizza. Not only did he run a successful business but he created a network of everlasting friendships of all the people who worked for him, people who still talk highly of him and the oppurtunities he gave us. Thank you Tim and God bless the Davis family

I'm in shock. Working at Bison Creek Pizza and with Tim Davis was a one of a kind experience & TIm was a great guy. I'm glad I had a chance to make amends with him before he passed. He'll be sorely missed!
