To everyone in Uncle Lee's Family:
When we met Uncle Lee in 2009, we were going through a particularly difficult time in our lives. Not only did he and his wonderful family, welcome us with open arms and make us feel loved, he personally inspired us to be brave and be happy. That time soon became one of the happiest times in our lives and all you lovely people entered our hearts forever.
We are proud to have met this great man and are honoured to carry him as inspiration and love in our...

Mr. Davis was a remarkable man, husband, father and neighbor. My heart goes out to the Davis family and friends and Honeysuckle Dr. It was a privilege to know him, and all of you.

Davis family,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad! Thinking of you and your family. Offering our prayers. Polaneczky Family

To the Davis Family,
We were so glad to be able to spend time with you last year in Cincinnati when Tim came in for our 30th McNick reunion. Leland was very special--I have both of his books!--and the love he and Patty share for each other and for their family is a model for us all. He made an impact on Dan and I, and his messages will live on in us. We send our love and warmest wishes to you from Denver.

Though "Uncle Lee" and I were not able to see each other often, the one word that always immediately comes to mind when I think of him is the word kind. The Morristown Donoughs send our sincere condolences, love, and prayers in this time of loss for the Davis family and for all those whose lives Lee touched.

It does not get any better than Mr. Davis. Great family and a great "Dad" to all. Rest in Peace Mr. Davis, you leave behind a bunch of great memories for all that knew you.

Sending my condolences from across the globe
I am with you in spirit with love compassion and healing.
This journey of life unfolds, I walk with you .
Tony

Mr. Davis was one of the nicest and most genuine people I've ever met. He always greeted me with a smile and welcomed me into his home regardless of what he had going on. At least twice he brought me into the middle of a dinner party and introduced me all around! He put up with us building our Class of '85 senior float in his driveway with the same good nature and seemed genuinely happy to have us. Anne and I will never forget him or his familyyou're all in our prayers.

I knew Mr. Davis only briefly. I am a close friend to Christian and know his brother Tim also only a bit. It is hard to see the passing of war hero, a steadfast husband, a loving father and grandfather and a passionate follower of Jesus. But it is to that end we have to celebrate, for as 1Cor2:9 tells us; "But as it is written; "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love him". Yes, the world is much worse off...
