Ethan D. Davidson & William M. Davidson
We are deeply saddened by the passing of
A man of great nobility whose life was filled
with dignity, love and compassion
for his fellow beings.
The death of this noble giant leaves an
unfillable void in the Jewish Community
and the Community of Mankind.
His indomitable spirit will live on in our hearts.
May G-d comfort his beloved wife, Karen
and their loving family.
