James Dawson

My Heart felt prayers go out to the entire family for my dear friend Jim Dawson... it's hard to put in words; the deep friendship that we shared along the small journey of 20+ years. A Friend and Mentor of the communication world who spent his life devoted to the love of people, nature and family of friends & student of the speaking and communication world. You will be missed my friend... more than you will ever know !!! Be at peace my friend and we'll catch up on another day on the main...

Sharing your sorrow and sadness. With sympathy Clara Manley and Family.

I have known Jim since early days Toastmasters. He has always been giving with his knowledge, his inspiration. He has been a meaningful important friend to me. I have loved, valued and respected him over the years.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Jim. He was an excellent instructor with the LDA I program (Newport News VA). May God continue to strengthen during this time.

He was the speaker who would call people out. However, once you got to know him and his style you appreciated him calling you out. I learned a tremendous amount of Information both times he spoke at our Leadership Development classes. He will truly be missed.

By far the best speaker and motivational person I've encountered while driving home the message of what's important in life.

My Many thanks ti him, he will be missed. S.I.P.

My condolences on the your loss. Jim was an excellent instructor and a fellow jarhead. In our brief interactions he taught me alot and shared some worldly advice.

My thoughts, prayers and condolences to Jim's family. As others have said he was a wonderful and giving person. Jim was a generous person and an inspiring leader. He mentored and coached me for many years while I was a Toastmaster. A gentle man with a big heart.
