While I never worked directly for Jim Davison, I found Jim to be very honest and an outstanding Engineer at Sun Oil Company. May the Good Lord bless and keep his family in this time. And I will be sure to remember Jim on this Memorial Day at the Houston National Cemetery as I visit my compatriots of the Sons Of The American Revolution.
