John ("Big John" as we knew him, was a friend for more than six decades. He was a gentle man, complex in some ways, always reaching out to help others (and his church), and brave beyond most. He and I (also my twin brother) were the ankles for the Armstrong High School football teams of the late 1950s. To know John was to know the Davis family that John characterized famously. To get a laugh, one only need to tease him about much he was able to eat. Oh, how I fondly recall how he and I sat in the very rear of the church and sing; neither of us could carry a tune in a bucket. But sharing and daring was John's way with friends. It perhaps matters little that he was the most outstanding lineman in the history of Armstrong High School. Perhaps it matters little that he was a friend who never failed. It does matter greatly, that a true friend of mine has transitioned. His spirit will fine comfort in the eternal presence of God. William M. Harris, Sr.
