Uncle Bobby, 
I miss you so much. We always played soccer on Memorial Day weekend, and I miss hearing you cheer me on. I started law school 7 years ago today, and as you’d say, the time sure does fly. I’m so glad I came home to be with you and Shirl to go to law school. We had another foster dog adopted yesterday, and another one at home. You would have loved them. I miss talking to you on my way home from work everyday. I miss going out to eat together, and I miss you most in church every Sunday. I always look to your spot when I walk in. Thank you for taking care of me, and raising me. You were much more than just my uncle; you were my parent, role model, and best friend. The world is so extremely lonely without you.

My deepest condolences to the entire Davis family.  I will deeply miss Mr. Bobby.  He would always greet me every morning with a very pleasant good morning with a smile on his face which in turn will make me smile.  He always had a kind word to say to me never  saw him upset 

The world has lost an incredible life.  However heaven has gained an Angel

I always loved when Tuesday would come because I knew Bobby would be in with a smile and his cute little hat.  He was always sharply dressed and always had a smile on his face.  He would sometimes sit and talk to me for a bit.  He was a great man and he will be missed.  My condolences to his entire family.

Mr. Davis  was always kind to me and greeted me each morning with a smile...I will miss seeing him my condolences to the Davis family.

He was my Fire Captian at #4fire station, he always put the needs of his firefighters first. He taught my whole family how to snow ski. Thanks for the memories  Bobby, you will be missed by many.

Bobby and I went looking for our ABNB TV at the Wishart Office on 9-11 where we saw the 2nd plane go into the tower. He was a very kind person I’m sure his love ones will miss him

I joined ABNB at the tail end of Mr. Davis' tenure but, his kindness, gentleness, and the sparkle in his eye were never lost on me. In Marketing we often needed him to help us with getting extra projects to the branches and he never seemed bothered by our chaos or many extra asks. If he knew something was supposed to be going out for delivery, but we hadn't finalized getting it down to the mailroom yet, he'd come find us before leaving the building to be sure he supported our request. He always went above and beyond. Mr. Davis, the world is better having had you and your example in it. Rest easy, you earned it.

I am truly saddened by Bobby's passing but I find comfort in the memories he left behind. I pray and send my condolences to his family and friends, and former co-workers like myself. Bobby was such an amazing person and his spirit and attitude brightened EVRYONE's day. I looked forward to seeing Bobby each week and would be disappointed when he wasn't there and decided to retire. I will hold onto memories of his smile and our short conversations as he looks over us from a better place now. Rest in Peace Bobby, and may your love and light continue to shine on through those you cherished the most. ~ Ciara (former co-worker at ABNB)

I had the honor of working with Bobby at ABNB for many years. I always enjoyed when he would visit the branch. He always had a hearing ear, a helpful hand, and a caring heart. He was always willing to help, even beyond ways that were in his job description. He was a wonderful person to have visit the branch.
