I remember Avis as "Sandy" when we were back yard neighbors...he must have been 8 or 9 living on King. Knew him again at WHS. So sorry for your loss, Patricia and Sue Ellen. Thought and prayers are with you and your families.

I wanted to let you know that I thought a lot of Avis as a young person. He was ahead of me in school, but we played sandlot baseball behind Westminster Church as young people. He had a unique running style, and was always there for the younger people. He will always be a remembrance of mine. May God go with his family at this hard time.
