Concerned Citizen wrote a sympathy message

“I deeply regret the passing of a good friend and excellent mechanic. Davis was the best mechanic I knew "back in the days". I still remember riding in his 1956 black Ford Crown Victoria on a double-date, rounding the "circle" in Henderson. I visited his house on several occasions seeking information on my 1950 model Ford flathead. I saw David for the last time at his garage in Henderson. He always had a smile and was the most likeable person I knew. I will always hold him as a good friend.”
