Another great Ozark legend!! We dropped by Davis basket many times from Camdenton for wedding gifts and our own dinner ware. Thoughts to the Davis family from the Sallee family.

Met DD in 1950's when I lived across Highway 54 from the store. Stopped by over the years and he always remembered me. Super memory and great stories. Thank you DD.

I remember going into Davis Baskets as a little girl & eating the best tiger butter ever. Those memories are what I judge all fudge by. I always felt welcome and loved visiting with Delmar.
The days just don’t seem long enough. We’ll be praying for the family as they grieve & celebrate Delmar.

It was always a pleasure to visit with Delmar at the store, and very fond memories of the days back when he sold fireworks all year, and exploring the stores as well as listening to his stories.

Delmar was a great friend. I have known him most of my life. I loved going out to the store and visiting with him. We did lots of reminiscening, a lot of talking about the war and our lives now and our families. I will miss his friendship.

I moved to the lake area in 2012. I met Delmar shortly afterwards. I would often stop by the shop. What began as exploring the lake iconic places and meeting those people who Made the lake what it is. Delmar was a treasure and I will miss him. May he rest in peace. My sympathy to his family.

RIP Mr. Davis I always enjoyed talking with you and hearing your stories from WWII to early lake like life, fire dept, and locals that made baskets with you and for you to Dollar General wanting to buy just a piece of your property (like the old ice cream parlor building area) to put in a Dollar General and you didn’t want to split up or down grade your property on 54. You are truly an Ozark icon. As a kid (and even an adult) it was a tradition to stop at Davis Baskets, chat with you and buy a souvenir. RIP Mr. Davis.

Years ago I played racquetball in a league with him. I was probably in my mid thirties and he had to be 60 . We had fun and enjoyed visiting evertime we met. Very nice person and loved to listen to his stories of the history of the area. Rest In Peace Delmar.
