Damon Lawson Engle, 88, longtime resident of Charleston, West
Virginia and Dickinson, Texas passed away in Houston on January 9, 2008. Damon
Engle, the son of five generations of Methodist ministers, was born on June 22,
1919, in Troy, West Virginia. He graduated from Marshall University in 1941
with a degree in chemistry and continued his studies at Ohio State University.
He met Joanne Elizabeth Parsons at a young adult fellowship at his father’s
church and they were married on June 4, 1943.
His career with Union Carbide began in 1941, with the Works Lab on
South Charleston, West Virginia’s Magic Island. In 1942, he was the only lab man
on a start-up team for the first polyethylene plant in the United States. He
worked the next 20 years with high polymers including polyethylene, vinyl and dynel fibers. By the sixties, he was at the company’s
research and development center, eventually becoming the Associate Director. He
then managed chemical plants in South Charleston, West Virginia, and Whiting,
Indiana. From 1974 until 1983 he managed the Texas City, Texas plant and was
