Not sure what to say?

I just heard. Really liked Chic. Great ad man and great sports lover. I worked with him when I was active with AAF and enjoyed the heck out of him.

Our prayers are with your family. He will be missed in the neighborhood. Will miss seeing him working in the yard. Will miss a very nice neighbor!!

My prayers are with your family at this time. Mr. Davis was a great friend to my father and I pray that your pleasant memories give you comfort during this time of sadness.

We are so sorry for your loss. Chic's presence in our office brought smiles to everyone's faces. He was a memorable patient!

With great love and condolences to the family I am stunned that Chic is no longer with us here. He was a mentor of mine, a friend, a trusted confidant and an honored and respected pillar of the ad community, be it Baltimore or elsewhere. I will cherish the memories of drinks at the Rio, ADDY Committee meetings, long distance conference calls and so many other exchanges. I was cleaning out old e-mails and ran across one where he was promoting his daughter's new web site/business. I loved...

We've lost an Addy icon! I'm sure we all have addy memories and stories to tell. I remember Chic's excitement when I presented him with a signed baseball with Alumni Baseball players. I'm sure he's playing with the best!

Chic Davis a Man's..Man! Thanks so very much for your mentorship of my wife Gail Bozeman. Thanks for your leadership by example and superb friendship!

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Chic was very important in my success at the American Advertising Federation (AAF). He freely guided and tutored me in all things dealing with the advertising industry. Chic became very important to me, not only professionally, but personally as well. I will truly miss him. Thank you for being a part of my life.
