Jean "Pat" Charlton Davison was born on March 17, 1923, in Galesburg, Illinois. He was the son of Washington Irving and Emma Josephine (Nelson) Davison. Pat was confirmed in his faith on January 6, 1957, at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, in Springfield, Minnesota. He received his education in Galesburg, and was a graduate of the Galesburg High School in 1941.
On September 8, 1944, Pat was united in marriage to Aloma Evans in Peoria, Illinois. This marriage was blessed with four children, Michael, Rick, Patricia "Patsy" and Ronald. Pat and Aloma resided in Springfield, Minnesota and later moved to Hutchinson, Minnesota. Pat and Aloma shared over 68 years of marriage until Aloma passed away on August 6, 2013.
Pat and Aloma owned and operated Davison's North Side Grocery Store in Hutchinson, until the 1990's.
As a young man, Pat was a talented Townteam baseball player. He played for the Chicago Cubs Minor League and remained baseball's biggest fan. "If you are feeling down just pick up a ball and play catch – play catch – play catch," he would say.
Pat found a love for writing, penning a memoir about his time in baseball followed by his many "one-pagers." He was a fisherman, a painter, and a craftsman. A caregiver and the corner store owner. The boy who loved the farm and the man with a passion for all kinds of sports. Pat was always ready with a big smile and excited to share a joke or a story. Most of all, he cherished spending time with his family, his grandchildren and his friends.
Pat passed away on Tuesday, May 17, 2016, at his residence in Dassel, Minnesota, at the age of 93 years.
Blessed be his memory.
