Jack Davidson, 80, went to be with the Lord after a courageous battle with cancer on Monday, May 14, 2012, at his daughter’s home in Berwick. He was born December 9, 1931, in Des Moines, to James and Alta Davidson.

Jack worked for Crouse Cartage for 32 years. He was a member of Bethany New Life Christian Fellowship Church, and Teamsters Local 147.
