Doc resided in Angola, IN, and was a veteran of WWII, Board Certified Surgeon, Pilot, Deputy of Angola PD, Advanced collector, and Patriarch of the Davis family. He is survived by his wife, Mary (Jeanne) Davis, sister Elizabeth Davis, and many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Doc was a Life Member of the ANA, LM 1023. In the pursuit of collecting coins, first through trial and error and the help of others, he taught himself, which led eventually to an in-depth study of the pieces he wanted to acquire. His most notable achievement in numismatics was building the Foxfire Collection, one of the finest cabinets of Early American Silver and Copper type coins ever assembled. Doc was 99 at the time of his death.
