  1. What a wonderful picture of a fine man! For almost 50 years, the Davis family has made me feel like part of their clan…friendships worth far more than rubies or gold. I will miss Kenneth. He was so much fun, and loved to tease everybody in a good natured way. He was so likable. He was so proud of Phyllis and his girls. I will continue to remember you all in my prayers.

    Love,

    Ellen

  2. I met Kenneth a little over 42 years ago as a coworker at Russell Hosiery. We became instant friends through our love of sports especially the Blue Devils. Life eventually took us different directions but friendship never fades and it was evident two years ago I randomly stopped by his home for the first time in many years. We picked up like we had never been apart. That’s the way Kenneth was. He would also give you the shirt off his back. I know, I was a 20 year old in Daytona with not a penny to my name. I had blown my cash the night before. My friend supported me for the next two days out of his own pocket. That’s what friends do. Kenneth I love you and will miss you. Prayers for everyone.
