    Mr Davis introduced himself to me when I moved into the neighborhood in 1998. He was a very friendly and nice neighbor. He gave me advice when I was having a lawn sprinkler system put in and picked up my mail for me once when I was away on vacation. I would see him sitting on his front porch quite often and we would wave to each other. He will be missed. I wish I had gotten to know him better.

    He was an Amazing man with so many great stories. Morris was like my adopted Grandfather. Rene and I planned our wedding on a Sunday just to make sure Morris could be there. He always had a smile on his face and open arms for hugs. Will be missed dearly.

    I am so sorry that we've lost our wonderful friend, Mr Davis! He was my neighbor for several years. He was wonderful caregiver for his wife. He was always spoiling us. He replaced headlight in my van and replaced my mailbox when it was vandalized. Meals on Wheels& Nazarene Church were also blessed to have this man. Our loss is truly Heaven's gain! Rest In Peace,friend!!!
