Music and speech highlighted gala retirement party given in honor of leader Milton Davis
Many citizens of the United States never are recognized for the devoted services they provide when serving in their various responsibilities. It is always interesting when people lay in caskets where their ears do not hear nor their eyes behold the wonderful tributes given them.
How fortunate is the fact that there was music and speech expressing the love people have for Milton Davis, who retired recently from his profession! He heard the speeches, listened to the music and participated in the festivities that heralded his dedicated service in many business ventures, including the Hyde Park and South Shore banks.
One individual lauded Davis for being a cultured individual who not only appreciated the arts, but supported many facets so that others might perfect their God-given gifts as they serve others and for the development so that youth and adults might enjoy the cultural advantages presented to them.
The tribute continued when the individual spoke about Davis' dedicated devotion to bring stability to the community and for being an example to the generation of youths.
Davis is an alumnus of Morehouse College, a place that provides educational ideals for young men so that they will build great characters.
It is obvious throughout his life that education brought him closer to the ideals of life, expressed love to the Creator and to his neighbors, achieving a more harmonious relationship between the divine and humanity. Davis continued his advance education in sociology and economics at Washington University in St. Louis.
At the time of his retirement, he was named chairman emeritus of South Shore Bank, where he served as vice chairman and president, chairman of the board and Shorebank Chicago Companies.
In education, he was assistant director at the Center for Research in Security Prices at the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago.
Davis served as the member of the board for several organizations, such as Columbia College, the Field Foundation, Chicago United, ETA Creative Arts Foundation, Chicago Community Trust, the IIT Board of Trustees, the South Shore YMCA and as a commissioner for the Chicago Housing Authority.
