John was a man of honor and a great man to work with in preparing goals of individuals that needed his help to make a difference in their lives. He meant a lot to each that he contacted. He will always be remembered. May God bless his family and friends.

We have known John for many years through the Moose and also because our son, Cody, competed in the regional science fairs at Potomac State. He kept us company in the afternoons during the competition. We loved chatting with him and visiting his lodge because of the hospitality. Of course, he was always a part of the Moose family at both mid year and annual conferences. We teased him that he was the "good" John Dawson in the state. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this time of sorrow.
Please let us know if we can be of any assistance to you. Sincerely,

Heather Hamilton
