He worked many years as a cook before delving into the Masonry Trade where he cultivated his skills in Ceramic tiles, Marble, and Granite. His heart for the community grew as he worked with friends moving and selling furniture at local markets where you were sure to find smiles, jokes, stories, and laughter. Many knew him as Big John or John B for his work in dewatering/well pointing.
He dove head first in the role of father hood to his son Grady Davis on April 1988 who helped put many Gray’s in to his hair. But each one came, with love & wisdom
