Share a Memory or Condolence
Remembering John – an extremely successful member of the United States Air Force, and devoted husband to his wife, my cousin Sharon. Enjoyed his friendship and was glad to assist him with a place to stay and a borrowed car during Sharon’s periods of hospitalization in Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington D.C. All the Dawes brothers (Perry, Larry, Marvin, David & Lloyd) send their prayers for John’s children and grand-children. Thanks Sarah for maintaining the connection between our families.
