Not sure what to say?

David was one of my first roommates at Rice, which was a blessing for me. He honored me by driving us to Beaumont to visit his home. To me, he epitomized integrity, scholarship, perseverance, and kindness. My condolences to Pat and their family.

I missed Dave's passing somehow. We served together on the Gearing for three great years and met again at a reunion a few years ago. What a fine man. Condolences to the family from both Nancy and myself.

I am saddened to hear Dave's passing. My deepest condolences to his immediate and extended family. I knew Dr. Davidson at SwRI for many years during my career in the Material Sciences Department. He always had a positive attitude and easy to talk to. He was a highly renowned scientist, built one of a kind electron microscope; made unique innovations and contributions in the material sciences and micromechanics areas. He was able to explain complex problems in simple terms so that anyone can...

Dave Davidson was a great scientific leader. I worked with Dave on several projects at SWRI. He would always was a helpful person if i had a problem finishing his project work. Everyone will miss him at SWRI. Hoping he is watching over everyone in the Research area and giving advice from above. Great Man.

I have the most beautiful memories of our trips to Independence Creek, Diamond Y Springs, and your Hill Country property. I don't know anyone more commited to conservation and science. David was a man of integrity and principle. I admired him and am grateful for the time I spent with him. May he rest in peace and may Pat and his childred be surrounded with love and support. With respect and love, Debbie Brient

I am so very sorry that David has passed. I worked with him when I first came to SwRI and then for a number of years... He was a good man and a brilliant scientist. He was the one who first introduced me to Machu Picchu and peaked my curiosity for other such places... Keeping you all in my prayers for comfort and healing.

We lost touch several years ago. We have fond memories of our friendship with David and Pat at UPC.
