Martin R. Davis

Martin R. Davis, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, mentor, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 28, 2024. He is survived by his wife Harriet; his children, Harley (Ghanima), Cindy, Greg (Hope), and Brian (Ashlee); his sister, Roz; and his grandchildren, Gabrielle, Calypso, Quinn, Jeremy, Adam, Andy, and Mika. Marty was born on July 16, 1937, in Toledo, Ohio, where he lived a full life and enriched the community. Marty was devoted to his family, his friends, and his community; he was a living demonstration of how much one can give back and live a full and happy life. He was a true role model.

Marty opened Colony Pharmacy in 1964 and it expanded to become a chain, Pharmacy Counter. Marty focused on diabetes education, adding years of life to countless people. He won numerous awards.

Marty was a pillar of the Toledo Jewish community, serving as president of Temple B'nai Israel from 1985 to 1987 and on its board after that. He was dedicated to the synagogue and the community at large.

Mostly he was devoted to his family. He led Indian Guide groups, coached softball and baseball teams, attended his kids' and grandchildren's events, and was always ready with a back rub and a kind word. He loved nothing more than time spent with his family.

The funeral will be held at Temple B'nai Israel on Thursday, May 30, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. There will be a service and visitation at the Davis house on Thursday afternoon from 4:00-7:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 2:00-7:00 p.m. Donations to Congregation B'nai Israel in Marty's memory are welcome.
