'Dave' and I worked together for five years at Allied Plywood, where I got my first real job thanks to him. He was our chapter advisor for Delta Sigma Pi and a real gentleman. How I wish I could have met him again before he passed away.

Goodbye Mr. Davison,
Thanks for teaching us cartoon drawing skills at Our Lady of Sorrows workshops in the cafeteria many years ago. Saying goodbye is always difficult but you'll be in the good hands of Jesus now.

I knew Will as a neighbor in Takoma Park for many years. I remember him well and fondly for the sparkle in his eyes, my impression that he was a stand up guy good for his word. He used words sparsely at times yet his smile showed his heart.
I'm grateful to have known him and I'm grateful for his service to our country. Thanks Will.

The neighborhood won't be the same without you. We said Elm Ave. should be re-named Davison Ave. for your landscape efforts on our behalf.
A friend for over 30 years, you will be missed whenever we look out the window.

Wil - I still remember the meetings we had in your home, and how you worked so hard to care for it.
More than that was the efforts you put into building and strengthening relationships with friends and family. You were a great witness to many!

Wilbur, we have been friends for almost sixty years. We worked together on the college news magazine, The Foreign Service Courier. We drank and played together and even attended "professional" activities in our fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi. And we would see each other from time to time in the ensuing half century plus. We comforted each other when we lost our respective beloved spouses. You have been a true friend, a brother in every sense of the word. It has been a honor and a pleasure to be your friend. You will be missed by so many of us.

Thanks Mr.D for all the time you spent with us in the boy scouts. The lessons learned have stayed with me and are still in use. You touched many live in a positive way.
