Born in Randolph County, NC, on August 26, 1941, Larry was the son of the late Luther Glenn Davis and Avon Elizabeth Stout Davis.

His latest accomplishment was performing at "Christmas Candlelight at Biltmore." He also received an Achievement Award from the NC Visitors Bureau for his performances throughout the county. He was at his best playing Jazz, but could play classical, bluegrass, pop standards, and any genre or form of music requested. He had a God given talent and loved performing. Larry had played professional baseball for the Washington Senators and the Chicago Cubs, and had served in the US National Guard. Survivors include his wife of 53 years, Diann Mayberry Davis; son, Chester Lamar "Chet" Davis and wife, Leslie Addison Davis; brother, James Edward "Ed" Davis and wife, Barbara Davis; grandson, Spencer Glenn Davis; and sister-in-law, brother-in-law, nieces, nephews, and many other close family and friends.
