As an employee of Burlington Industries he worked diligently for more than 30 years retiring as Division Traffic Manager in 1987. After retirement Art enjoyed golfing with friends and travel. During leisure time it was uncommon to find him without a good book in his hands. He enjoyed reading historical works and discussing them with his sons. He loved learning and could recall almost everything about World War II and his beloved New York Giants. He was a devoted father and grandfather and never missed an opportunity to spend time with those he loved. For the past five years Art has been blessed to have been cared for by Doris Sigmon. She attended to him with love and caring. We thank her for her devotion to him and to our families. Art leaves behind 3 sons, Kyle Davis of Jacksonville Beach Fl., Bob Davis of Greensboro and Steve Davis of Colfax as well as many grandchildren and great grandchildren and sisters Elna Jacobs and Joyce Jones.
