 Lawrence Melvin Davison died on Aug. 3. He was born on April 15, 1939 in Portland, Oregon. He was preceded in death by his mother Irene Davison. Larry, as most of his friends called him, graduated from Jefferson High School in 1957. He served in the US Army from 1961-1963. He worked for Northern Specialty Sales from 1964-1985, Ralph A Baer Co. from 1986-1995, and had been employed by Price-Mart since 1995 until his health failed.

Larry had an abundance of intellectual energy and was a man of many interests. Those who were around him and those who knew him used words such as: a nice man, a good man, and a true friend to express how they felt about Larry and how he touched their lives. He especially displayed these qualities in his life long devotion to his mother and in his loyalty to his close friend Peggy. Larry will be greatly missed by friends, co-workers, and family.
He will be remembered by his friend Peggy Love, his cousins: Elharsel Lewis, Vito Lewis, Venetha Dupree, Almeda Williams, Carmen Sylvester, Roland Harris, Dolores Fay Laners, Howard Harris, Raymond Harris, Harley Lampkin, Scott Harris, James Harris, and a host of other cousins and friends
