Although we will all miss him greatly, we have peace in the knowledge that he has now been reunited with our mom, his parents and many other family and friends who have gone before. Leslie was born on May 29, 1910 in Mulvane, Kan. to William G "Bob" and Addie Davis. His family later moved to Wichita, where he graduated from Wichita High School East and also attended Wichita Business College.

He married Mildred Murphy Aug. 22, 1931 and she passed away June 30, 1976. Leslie's faith was an important part of his existence. He has been a member of the Church of Christ all his life. As a young man, he preached for a small congregation in Peck, Kan. He was one of the charter members of the Northside Church of Christ and served as an elder for many years. Upon his retirement, he and his wife moved to Grenola for a short time and then purchased a home in Sedan. He ministered to the youth in these churches and was an example to all. Leslie loved to go fishing and was an avid sports fan. He was a competitive ping-pong player in Wichita and took second place in the City Tournament one year. At one time, he sponsored and coached a boys Little League Baseball team. Upon his move to Sedan, where his oldest son is a coach, he became a loyal Blue Devils Booster Club member. He seldom missed a game the entire season and was known to several generations of kids as grandpa. He followed the Wichita State Shockers basketball teams and was a die hard Chicago Cubs fan.
