David died at 85 on Sept. 18 at his home in Las Vegas. 

Mike Davis gained notoriety as the author of blunt interoffice correspondences. 

Here are a few excerpts from of what the employees of Tiger Oil Company regularly received from Mike Davis (otherwise known as, Tiger Mike);

“There will be no more birthday celebrations, birthday cakes, levity or celebrations of any kind within the office,” the boss wrote on Feb. 8, 1978.

“This is a business office. If you have to celebrate, do it after office hours on your own time.”

Do not speak to me when you see me,” the man had ordered in a memo the month before. “If I want to speak to you, I will do so. I want to save my throat. I don’t want to ruin it by saying hello to all of you.”

“Anyone who lets their hair grow below their ears to where I can’t see their ears means they don’t wash. If they don’t wash, they stink. And if they stink, I don’t want the son-of-a-bitch around me.”

Another memo from Davis reads, "Idle conversation and gossip in this office among employees will result in immediate termination … Do your job and keep your mouth shut!"

Yet another reads: "I swear, but since I am the owner of this company, that is my privilege, and this privilege is not to be interpreted as the same for any employee."

“Handwriting takes much longer than a typewriter. You’re wasting your time, but more importantly, you’re wasting my time. If you don’t know how to type, you’d better learn.”

“I suggest that you people buy enough cigarettes to keep here for yourselves to smoke because, by God, you will not go and buy them on my time.”

“I do not appreciate people coming into my office and helping themselves to my candy, cigars, medicine and other personal items … I don’t mind giving, but I would like the privilege of knowing and giving it myself.”

Mike Davis wasn’t embarrassed by the contents of the memos.

In Donald Trump business fashion Tiger Oil Company went under thus filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy and emerging from bankruptcy a few years later under the new name of Par Petroleum Corp. and relocated to Houston.

Many of his former employees attended the funeral just to make sure he was actually dead.
