Judy, I worked with Shumate at RJR for several years and he was always one of the finest gentlemen I ever worked with.  He encouraged me to go into management as one of the first women supervisors at RJR.  I would never have accomplished this without his belief in me.  Sorry that we were out of town during his services.  Sincerely, Dianna White

To all of Shumate's family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy and condolences.
Sincerely,
Faye Barr Wall-Johnson

I attended school, Griffith, with Shumate Davis for many years.  We also attended Hopewell Moravian Church as youngsters.  I will always remember Shumate as a warm, smiling and caring friend.  My sympathy goes out to his family and friends.  Wilma Everhart Lovette
