Larry and Mary Davis personified the heart and spirit of the roofing industry community. Committed to supporting the professional standing of roofing contractors, Larry promoted high standards and believed that a well-educated membership was key to the industry's future success. Founder of State Roofing Company in Modesto, California, Larry served as a director on the Western States RCA Board of Directors and was active on several committees, often flying to meetings with his wife Mary in their private airplane. They perished in a plane crash in 1995 when they were returning from a committee meeting.

The Davis Memorial Foundation is administered under the auspices of the Western States Roofing Contractors Association, which is committed to promoting professionalism in the roofing industry. Please feel free to contact us if you don't find the answer to your questions on our Web site.
