I am a Navy Veteran of Wars! I was Johnnys center playing football at HMHS. We had fun. I live in Pensacola and was looking for him as he passed. Thoughts of him always make me smile. He was a good HS QB. If he was a great QB I wouldn´t know as I was already in Vietnam. Only good feelings and since he was a senior chief I know he was a great sailor. May our Lord receive him .

Mr.Davis was a hard working man that loved his family and wanted the best for them. He worked hard to make sure they had what they needed. Mr.Davis alway brought a smile to me when he stopped by the Vision Center. He was always kind and soft spoken. A very sweet man and he will be missed. Love and hugs to Janice and William. Our deepest sympathies, the Bossom family , Vidya ,John IV, John V
