A City Hall Fixture has Passed Away

Last Thursday, frequent City Council speaker Leslie Davis (no relation) was found dead in his residence in Oak Cliff. From the police report, it doesn't look like foul play.

As anyone that watched or attended Council meetings would know, Leslie spoke at almost every meeting. He always had a kind word and I saw him as a good person. He often visited Mayor Caraway's office, and the Mayor once bought him shoes when he needed some.

As he often said at Council meetings, "try to love each other the best you can."

The clip below was played at the end of today's City Council meeting. How fitting that he was the last speaker at the last meeting of the current City Council.
