Davidson was born Dec. 5, 1922, in Detroit. He ran track at Michigan, played football in the Navy during World War II and was an inaugural inductee into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.

His philanthropic efforts, though often low profile, were numerous, international and lifelong, and got him honored in 1977 by the Council of Michigan Foundation.
