About Leonard Davis

Leonard Davis was a pioneer in the development of insurance for older Americans. At a time when older persons could not obtain life, health, or automobile insurance easily, Mr. Davis found innovative approaches to solving this problem. While serving older Americans, his professional career flourished and his company, Colonial Penn Insurance, became one of the nation's leading insurers. In 1958, Mr. Davis founded the American Association of Retired Persons with Ethel Percy Andrus. When Dr. Andrus died in 1968, Mr. Davis led the effort to create a lasting memorial for this outstanding woman. The memorial is the Ethel Percy Andrus Gerontology Center at USC. In 1976, Mr. Davis gave USC a gift which enabled this university to create the first school of gerontology in the world, the Davis School of Gerontology.
