We are so sad to hear of Happy's passing. We always enjoyed seeing him and his "Rolls Rotten" and had long hoped for a "next time" Our condolence's to his family.

We are not Facebook people. Is there a snail mail address we could write to ?

Happy lived in the present and future; however, in his past he also leaves surviving children Crystalyn April (Davis) Norris; Daryl Scott Davis; Duane Parris Davis and grandchildren Stefanie (Davis) Knewsieski wife of Thomas; Shane Davis; Jessica Norris; Kyle Norris; and Madison Davis. May he rest in peace. Condolences to everyone.
