Russ married the former Deanna Bentley in August of 1972. In the
last few years, he had worked in several capacities as a consultant
as well as a self-employed family counselor. He wrote several magazine
articles and books including a book for policemen to help deal with
hostage takers. Russ also wrote a book about Mountain Man lore,
because he loved that part of American history.
He also was very involved in hypnotherapy and became an APRT Board

head of an agency that certified Regression Therapists (IEBRT).
He was a trainer for police officers at Hawkeye Tech in Waterloo,

Davis, and a sister, Kathleen.
He was a recent resident of Clear Lake and fell in love with the
lake the instant he saw it. He spent time sitting by the lake and
enjoying the sail boats. Dr. Davis was a loving husband, dear friend,
uncle and cared very much for all people in pain.
Russ will be missed by all who knew him and especially by APRT.
Dee Davis and family have requested that in honor of Russ, donations
can be made to APRT at PO Box 20151, Riverside, CA 92516. |
