John was born January 20, 1933 in Minneapolis and grew up in Edina the fourth son of Edward L. Davis and Engry Liljegren Davis. He enjoyed being the kid brother of Earl, Ken, and Jerry. His stories of growing up in Edina during the war were legion and very funny.

He had a long career as a CPA. Many thanks to John’s great clients who needed him long after he retired. You kept him active, engaged and happy.

Thank you to the good people at St. Joseph’s Hospital in St. Paul. There will be a small family gathering in January and party in his honor when we can gather again.

Please wear your mask.
