arghton 6,697 Posted October 8, 2021 As it's 10 years since the death of Al Davis, it's worth mentioning that his widow, Carol Davis (not sure if ever mentioned on this forum before) is still alive and around 90 now. Despite once being in coma due to a heart attack for three weeks in 1979, she is still going and since the death of Al has been the part-owner of Las Vegas Raiders with their son Mark Davis (1955-). Carol has been in a wheelchair for years, here's a recent picture: Mark is currently 66. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
