RESO 1988-04 - NB Chick Davidson MemorialWHEREAS:
WHEREAS:
RESOLUTION NO. 88 -4
IN MEMORIAM
NORMAN B. "CHICK" DAVIDSON, P.E.
1900 -1988
It has been said that the measure of a man's life is
the service rendered to mankind; and
The service rendered to his fellowman throughout the
life of Mr. "Chick" has covered the spectrum of the
engineering profession from the aesthetic: parks,
playgrounds and landscapes, to the functional:
streets, utilities, subdivisions and buildings; and
WHEREAS: "Mr. Chick" rendered his services world -wide through
military service in World War II, the Pacific Theater,
to his state, the East Texas region, and most
especially, to his hometown . . . Huntsville; and
WHEREAS: The list of accomplishments on behalf of his community
as City Engineer and consultant from 1952 to the time
of his death, February 13, 1988, is far too long to
enumerate; his services far too valuable to compensate;
and his abilities too renowned to properly enunciate;
it is altogether fitting and proper that the City he
served so well and for so long should acknowledge his
life and his passing;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the Mayor and City
Council of the City of Huntsville, Texas, do pause in
its continuing work to remember the life, the
contributions, and the man that was "Mr. Engineer" in
the City of Huntsville. We honor his memory with our
thoughts and sincere expression of sympathy to his
family and friends. We are all the richer and more
comfortable in our quality of life for the life and
service of "Mr. Chick."
DULY PASSED AND APPROVED by unanimous vote on this the 23rd day
of February, 1988, in testimony of which is hereby
affixed the hand of the Mayor and the seal of the City
of Huntsville.
