SAUL I. DAVIS It is with profound sadness and love that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend Saul I. Davis, on December 20, 2017. We are left to turn a heavy page in The Book Of Life. Saul was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario in 1923. He was a pillar in the community both in business and Jewish affairs. He loved all athletics - he ran five miles every day, played golf, tennis and achieved the feat of swimming across the St. Mary's river from Canada to the USA which was written up in the Sault Star. Heartfelt thanks to the nurses and health care aides at Grace Hospital, with special thanks to therapist Mark and Dr. George who cared so much. Funeral to be held on December 22 at 1:30 p.m. at Holy Blossom Cemetery in Toronto, ON. Shiva to be held at 60 Lindenwood Drive East on Sunday, December 24 to Tuesday, December 26 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Flowers gratefully declined. If desired a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

When my sister, Tammi, and I were very young, Saul and his brothers Murray and Jay were our favourite uncles, but we were really very distantly related cousins, by marriage.. We knew that they had served during WWII and that they ran a huge clothing emporium in the Soo, David Clothing. Saul was always so charming and funny and deeply empathetic. He was cool, he had a hip attitude and understanding of popular culture that was exceptional for someone of his generation. As the years passed I had very few opportunities to see him; once I stopped in Winnipeg on my way home to Montreal from Calgary and more recently, we saw him in Toronto for David's son's bar mitzvah. He was his usual charming self, especially with my Pascale who though him an exceptional person. Saul had his share of tribulations - may his family endure no more sorrows and may Saul's name live on, as a blessing for those he has left behind. - Posted by: Jacob Potashnik (Cousin by very distant marriage) on: Dec 26, 2017

I had the opportunity to meet Saul when I joined Royal Lepage in the mid 1980's. He was a very nice man and an excellent Realtor! - Posted by: Cliff King (past co-worker) on: Dec 22, 2017
