I was Hearell's secretary at the IBEW for several years. I found him to always be honest and forthright to all his friends and co-workers and was fiercely loyal to those he cared about. He had a dry sense of humor and expected everyone to live up to his standards. For all he was as a man, I loved him and will miss him. We all need a Hearell Davis in our lives giving us instructions if only we would listen to him. Jean Lee (von Gonten)
My dear friend Hearell, I am really going to miss talking to you and getting a lecture on saving my money. Our last conversation was only a few weeks ago and I already miss the challenge of not having your lecture. I've know you since 1976 and worked with you and what a journey we have taken together and I will always treasure your kind words and great advice. Rest in peace my dear friend. My prayers go out to the family. Rose Warren
I have known Mr. Davis since I was 6 years old. I grew up with his children, dated his oldest son Bubba for a while, watched his love for his family grow multiply over the years, and in his late years, just a few weeks before his passing, I had the great pleasure of doing his family tree at his request, and watching his excitement when I presented it too him. I loved Mr. and Mrs. Davis almost my whole life and I will miss both of them for the rest of my life. Take care and fly too the angels, and reunite with Aunt Loretta and Bubba, and my sister Diana. We will miss you greatly!

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Hearell at the Local Union Hall when he was an Assistant Business Agent. He always treated everyone fairly and followed the rules set by our International Office. I can remember his afternoon snack was buttermilk, crackers and sardines. All the girls would make fun of him! And of cours, he would put us in our place but we knew he liked the attention.
Through the years, after Hearell retired, he would come to visit us and see how everyone was doing. And he ALWAYS made it a point to ask about my 2 boys and my husband and tell us all to save our money!! He would tell us how poor he was but we all knew better!!
We will miss you Hearell.
May you rest in a peace and be back with your precious Loretta.
