You knew you would have a good shift when you saw you were working with Frank. I alwsys remembered how his ears would get all red when he got upset. He always could make you smile. He will be greatly missed. I know he's in heaven fishing.

Frank had an "aw shucks" way of taking care of patients; it was never about him, but always about them. He was a caring, hard working friend who will truly be missed.

After I left the ER, I would pass through from time to time. Frank would always greet me and we would chat for a while. He could make me smile even on the worst days. He will be missed by many.

Every time Frank sent me a text message, it always started with "Chris eats Worms". That still makes me chuckle when I think of it. I was proud to work along side of him at the Valley.

I worked many ER shifts with Frank over the years, and he concluded every single one of our shifts together with words of appreciation and a fist bump. He was as sincere and grateful a man as they come. He will be dearly missed.

Frank was one of a kind and I´m glad to have the pleasure of working with him in the ER. I used to joke and call him a grumpy old man but he always ensured that he went above and beyond for others.! If myself or others needed candy or jerky during a long shift we knew to check your little file cabinet bc you´d always have it there. You will truly be missed Frank Davis, PA.!

I have had the privilege to know Frank for 15 years and work with him in the ER at both Scotland and Cape Fear. Always knew any shift with Frank would be a good one and that I would always have someone who had my back. You will be missed by so many
