Dear Claire and family,
So hard to believe he is gone. It is a great consolation to all of us knowing the care his family gave him. What an example to all of us. I just sent a donation to Roman and we will be with you on Monday morning. All my love Meg Lawless Galia

Our condolences to the Lawless Family. Know that each of you are in our prayers at this time. So many memories come to mind as we think back to 1980, when Jack visited our place of business as a sales rep for the Norman Deitch Co. From that day forward we had a best friend; not only in business but, in our personal life, a friendship that we cherished - sharing in family happenings, vacation travels; and, of late, just the quiet visits on Saturdays. Thanks Claire and God bless.
In continued friendship, our sympathy
