Penney’s Warehouse and at the time of his passing, Grace Academy. John was a passionate Pittsburgh Steeler fan, loved Sci-Fi movies, and reading Star Trek books.

Words may not suffice to express just how sorry and saddened I am with John’s passing. We were not “blood” but we were family!

Extending my deepest sympathies to Debra and the family of John Davis. While I did not have the honor of spending a lot of time with him, the many moments spent in his presence will be forever remembered. I will especially remember the kind and encouraging pointers he gave me for my bowling. Every time I am on the approach, I hear him saying "be smooth with it" and know what he wants me to do. May John rest in peace. Tonya K.
