Bill Davis published books, gave talks and traveled the country talking to families with autistic children.
A Lancaster County father and long-time autism awareness advocate has died. Davis was known as the short bartender with a big personality. Add the tattoos and the native New York sense of humor and you start to get the picture. At home, though, Davis was simply Christopher's dad, the gentle, patient man who calmly, lovingly raised a son with autism. It wasn't always easy, but Davis shared the struggles with News 8, and in his books.
When asked what she wants her husband’s legacy to be, Kate replied, “The big heart he had, he felt so much for people, he had so much empathy.' She says he had so much empathy and so much love for his son, who made amazing strides thanks to Davis’ work and dedication to Christopher over the years.'They were best friends. That's tough. He's very lucky to have that kind of relationship with his dad, but that means he's losing more than most,' she said.
