I was fortunate enough to have been related to Mr.Davidian
He was my Godfather and Uncle. As kids growing up we referred to him as Big Jimmy his first son was called little Jimmy. Big Jimmy was in fact a Bigger than life character then, now and always. BIG Jim was the most dedicated Husband and Father. The hardest worker I ever saw. He operated a tank in the Battle of the bulge. An Armenian American hero of the Greatest Generation. His beautiful wife Marie and Big Jim raised five wonderful children and Marie and Big Jimmy put them all through college. Big Jim never went to college. He didn't have to with his work ethic and keen intellect everything he touched turned to Gold. Thank you Big Jim for the best childhood memories growing up down there summers at that little piece of Heaven your cottage on planting island in Marion. He certainly lived up to his name: Big Jimmy
