Robert Davidow
April 4, 1997
Robert Sherman Davidow was born on 10th of February 1930 in Brooklyn , New York. He was the eldest. (Later came a Sister) He finished his BS in Chemistry from the City college of New York served in the Korean war, met and marred Lila Ehrenberg on July 4, 1954. Ari Davidow, their oldest son, was born in August,
1955, Moshe was born in November, 1957, and Rachael was born in March, 1962.
Then the family moved to Calgary, Alberta, in Canada where in 1965 he graduated with a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry. In June 1972 we immigrated to Israel, where we settled in Beer Sheva. Robert worked for 10 years at Mactashim Chemicals. Then he became a private consular to all the chemical factories in the area.
He died suddenly from a stroke or heart attack. on April 4, 1997. He was 65 years old. His granddaughter Rahbie was born on April 28, 1997 and named after him. He has from his son Moshe three more grandchildren; Lili, born September, 1983, Ohad, born September, 1986, and Orr, born also in September of 1988. Both Lili and Ohad appear to be following in their Grandfather's steps.
This just gives you his background. It says nowhere of my father’s love and constant readiness to help where ever he could for neighbor and friend, his love of nature and children, or the fact that even the mailman remembers my father fondly. He was a special human being to all of us. He lived by his decree that every day you need to learn something new. His knowledge in so many areas was enormous.

Across
Several seas
He spoke of life and love,
Brightly, clearly; filling, leaving
A void.by Jim Olson

A Special Memory of WWII
by
Harry Weir
While overseas in the RCAF as a Sgt Observer, I, with 23 other Sgt/Obs. was invited to have tea with the King. Being the oldest in years, I was put in charge of the group and after the Commanding Officer was introduced to the King and Queen, he introduced me. I was expected to introduce the remainder of the group. Everything went swimmingly until I faced the 19th member. After living with and being associated with him for over 6 months, I completely forgot his name! Talk about embarrassment! He was a very astute chap and supplied "Sgt. Essex". The Queen complimented my ability to remember so many names and the ceremony
went off without any further hitches. This very pleasant visit lasted for two hours. The King and queen were not long back from a tour of Canada. We were the 4th course of observers through the Joint Air Training Plan, so there was much to talk about.
The two Princesses were there and a most delightful pair they were, serving tea and joining in the conversations.
The tea was in the Red Room of Windsor Castle and ended all too swiftly, or so it seemed.This experience provided one of the highlights of my sojourn in the United Kingdom.

We will always remember Horace and his gifts to the Elders list.
His research into faraway cultures.
His concerns for nature under stress.
His view of cockney worlds and language.
His tales of sailors and the sea.Gifts
Horace
Brought the summer sun
To ease our winter blues,
Possums that made us smile, and love
For all.
Thank you, God, for our time with Horace.by Jim Olson
