Harry "Skip" Davison

Harry “Skip” Davison, 80, of Polk, lovingly known for his warm spirit and gentle hands, passed away peacefully on January 2, 2025, in the comfort of his home, surrounded by his devoted family.

Born on January 26, 1944, in Franklin, Skip was the cherished son of the late Charles Gordon and Florence (Hasson) Davison. He found his greatest joy in life when he married the love of his life, Nancy Beach, on August 12, 1961; their enduring bond of 63 years was a testament to the love they shared.

Skip dedicated many years to the Carpenter’s Local Union #268 in Sharon, where he served as a superintendent and journeyman carpenter, honing his craft with passion and precision. His love for woodworking often drew him to his shop, where he would immerse himself in his next project, shaping raw materials into beautiful creations. A true craftsman, he found joy not only in woodworking but also in taking care of his yard, being outdoors, and the thrill of hunting in nature. Yet, above all, it was his family and his dog, Winston, that filled his heart with pride and joy.

He leaves behind his beloved wife, Nancy; their son, Brian Davison of Polk; and their daughter, Lisa Adams of Polk. He will be warmly remembered by his adoring grandchildren: Amanda Adams, Aaron Adams, and Allison Hedglin and his great grandchildren: Joey, Hunter, and Elliot Hedglin, Miller Carothers, and Lincoln Mathieson and a very special niece, Lois Hanna. His legacy will endure in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings: Jack, Arthur, and Gene Davison, Bob Ray, Margaret Davison, Virginia Reagle, Mary Adams, and Dorothy Doutt; and his son-in-law: Rick Adams.

In keeping with Skip’s wishes, no public services will be observed and arrangements are under the care of the Gardinier-Warren Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., 1315 Chestnut Street, Franklin, PA.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to Center Community Church, 214 Center Church Road, Polk, PA 16342; Polk Volunteer Fire Department, PO Box 329, Polk, PA 16342; and/or Precious Paws Animal Rescue, PO Box 784, Franklin, PA 16323 in Skip’s memory, reflecting the warmth and compassion he extended to all.

Skip Davison will be profoundly missed but forever remembered for his kindness, craftsmanship, and unwavering love for his family.
