Bernard Davenport Obituary
Bernard was born on August 31,1935, in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of Earl and Mildred (Patterson) Davenport. He was a member of Steel Workers Union Local #13, and employed at Armco/G.S.T.

He was a member of the St. Patrick Catholic Church in Laurie, Missouri, and a member of American Legion Zack Wheat Post #624, serving with the Color Honor Guard.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his sons, Gregory G. and Guy B. Davenport.
