Obituary: Davis, Howard
Howard was born at the family farm near Medical Lake, Washington.
He lived most of his life in Spokane and moved to Gig Harbor after the passing of his wife, Muriel, to be closer to his daughters.
After graduating from Lewis and Clark High school, he attended Eastern Washington College in Cheney.
His education was interrupted by World War II and service with the Naval Air Corps.
After the war, he married and proceeded to prepare for his business career.
He attended Kinman Business School and then went on to be co-founder of Davis and Hosch Music Co., which served Spokane for 30 years.
He was a past member of Rotary North, and he and his wife, Muriel, were members of Audubon Park Methodist Church.
Howard loved sailing, traveling, playing cards and most of all, his music.
In addition to piano and organ, he played violin with the Project Joy orchestra and Alla Camer string quartet.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Muriel, and brothers Darrel and Robert.
He deeply loved his family and leaves behind three daughters: Barbara (Gary) Waller, Karen (Larry) Thomas, and Carol (Thomas) Perry, and three grandsons and their families.
His family and friends will miss his constant love, humor, and his shining example of what it means to be a father/grandfather/great-grandfather/father-in-law/uncle/and friend.
We will always miss you!!
