Col. Lawson was a great teacher and wonderful role model.
Granddaddy you were always so sweet and full of life. You had so much kindness and wisdom in your heart. You will be missed.
Jim was bigger than life itself. He gave his service to his country. He gave his service by volunteering. He gave of himself to his family. He gave his friends a friend indeed. He gave his Lord the credit for all he had. Thanks, Jim, for giving my family your friendship. We are richer for having had you in our life. Love to you, Peggy, and family. Winona
Peggy, I am so sorry about your loss. Jim was such a fine man and one who obviously loved you very much. You are in my thoughts and prayers, Friend. My heart is heavy, thinking of you and this great loss. I will continue to pray for you during this most difficult time. Much love, Pat Frase
Col. Lawson taught me that "Military Bearing" was not just a lesson for ROTC and the service, but a lesson for life. RIP, Sir. You will be missed.
Granddaddy you will be missed so much. The best French toast maker in the world and one of the best men I ever had the honor to know and love.
When I think of what a man should be, I think of you.
When I think of what an American should be, I think of you.
When I think of how I should be, I think of you. And I always will.
It is an absolute honor to have your name. You've set the bar to it's highest. I will try my best to live up to the life you've lived.
Rest in peace Colonel James C. Lawson Sr., I love you.
So sad to get this news. Colonel Lawson was a pillar while I was in high school ROTC 1977. My Condolences to All the Lawson Family.
My Deepest Sympathies,
Lynn Lewers Walter
