He was a great brother. Our mom told me that when I was very young, Davis was out in the field working, and he got thirsty and came in the house to get a drink, he would always see that I had a drink, also; I was only 1 or 2 years old then.
When I came home on leave from the Army, Davis knew I was going to drive my car back to Colo. He took it and rebuilt the engine, before he let me start back to Colo. He loved his service in the Army, and He also love his time width the Sheriffs...
