Hello,
My Name Is Tashea. I Did Not Know Mr. Davison Personally But I Know How Hard It Can Be To Lose A Loved One In Death. I Have Experienced The Pain That Comes From Losing Someone Close To Me So My Heart Moves Me To Share With Others What Has Helped Me To Cope At Such A Difficult Time.
I First Want To Say That I Am Very Sorry For Your Loss. I Do Not Know If You Are A Bible Reader Or Not And I Hope I Do Not Offend Anyone, But The Scripture That Has Given Me Comfort Is The One Found At 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4. It Says, “Praised Be The God And Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father Of Tender Mercies And The God Of All Comfort Who Comforts Us In All Our Trials So That We May Be Able To Comfort Others In Any Sort Of Trial With The Comfort That We Receive From God.” I Would Like To Share With You The Comfort I Have Received From God. He Promises At John 5: 28, 29 That “The Hour Is Coming In Which All Those In The Memorial Tombs Will Hear His Voice And Come Out, Those Who Did Good Things To A Resurrection Of Life, And Those Who Practiced Vile Things To A Resurrection Of Judgment.” So God Has Promised That In The Very Near Future We Will Not Only Welcome Back To Life Our Loved Ones We Have Lost, But We Will Also Never Have To Experience The Pain Associated With Death Ever Again. I Pray That This Gives The Family Some Comfort During This Difficult Time. If You Need Anything Or Would Like To Know More About What The Bible Says About The Future, Feel Free To Contact Me. Have A Great Day.

I Just Received The Sad News Of Your Father’S Passing. He And I Were Members Of The Same Business Team That Commercialized The Very Successful And Profitable Unipol Process For Polyethylene. He Was The Technology Rep And I Was The Engineering Rep. There Was Also A Production Rep And Then The Business Manager.
I Have Written A History Of How It Happened In Union Carbide And Would Like To Forward It To Any Of You That Are Interested. Jim Is Featured Along With The Others Who Contributed To Its Success (And Were Never Properly Recognized).
Your Father Was A Great Man With An Encyclopedic Memory That Helped Sell The Technology To Potential Licensees. He Could Quote Product Properties From Memory For A Whole Gamut Of Products.
Clients Were Very Impressed With His Knowledge.
When I Learned That He Had Memory Problems, I Knew He Wouldn’T Recall Much Of The Contents..Since It Mentions Jim, I Then Wondered About Sending It To One Or More Of His Offspring. If You Wish To Have A Copy, I Can Email It To Your Address. It’S About 35 Pages.. Just Send Me Your Email Address.
My Chief Process Engineer, Bill Garner, Lives In Kanawha City And May Be At The Funeral Service On Jan 9Th With His Wife, Pat. Bill Provided Many Innovations To The Design Of The Plant That Helped It To Become The Lowest Cost Process For Polyethylene. I’M Sure He Will Want To Talk With You.
Unfortunately, I Cannot Make It To Charleston Since I Am Recovering From Heart Surgery…
Cordially,
Andrew Gibson
