"Papa" Davis was a very good friend and neighbour of my Papa Walter at Heritage Lodge. My Papa passed on January 26 of this year. They were both born in the same year and had a lot in common sharing their love of the country, horses, dogs, cars, the harmonica and their families. Papa Davis became my good friend as well. He was a very smart dresser and loved to dance. I am deeply saddened by the news of his passing. My sincere condolences to Judy and the rest of the family. - Posted by: Helen Oleszko (Friend) on: Jun 09, 2015
