R.L. loved racing. Being the Postmaster of Olivehurst, CA, he took the last 2 numbers of the zip code and Mr. Zip #61 was born. As a family, we all loved to watch him race. His love and passion for racing was fierce. A move to Kernersville, NC, (2009 – 2013), R.L. had the privilege to meet his favorite NASCAR driver, Kevin Harvick. Touring the garages, his smile was ear to ear. Attending the All Star race in Charlotte was priceless.
R.L. is survived by his son, Kory Davis (wife Denise); daughters, Melody Bettencourt (husband Robert), Charm Davis Parker, (husband Jeff); 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren; sister, Barbara Coppin; and brother, Ken Davis. And of course, his beloved dog, Bumpers.
