Sheldon was an authentic -- a one-of-a-kind. Doctor, friend, husband, son, father--and a cousin who was more like a brother to all in the family.

To the Davis family.....I was so sorry to read of the doctor's passing. Although we left New Bedford in 2004, he was our primary care physician for a number of years. I always enjoyed his bedside manner, and, of course, he was an excellent diagnostition. The medical profession has lost a marvelous doctor. We will remember the Davis family in our daily prayers.

Sincerest condolences to the family. Dr Davis was my physician for a time and was always pleasant and professional. May the memories you all share be of comfort and joy for his devotion as a physician, father and grandfather.
