Hello, my name is Mike Scheid (bottle), I met JD (left of Nick) at one of our M*A*S*H parties hosted by Pearce Atwater (back left) `79-`81. Great memories of those occasions in our younger days.

Marilyn and family, I´m so sorry to read about JDs passing. I think I got to know John first when doing business with him at Vermeulens, and then became good friends with him through other people that knew him, as so many people in this community did. He was genuine and just simply a nice person, can´t imagine anyone that doesn´t agree. He will truly be missed.

Dear Marilyn, I am so very sorry on the loss of your dear husband. My condolences to the entire family that loved JD so much, as he did them. I have known JD mostly through great stories told by Larry Graetz...stories of their brother golf trips, of NASCAR, of the trophy shop, and of his humor, as well as his kindness. I know how much he will be missed in your life and I will pray for your strength in the days ahead.

RIP "JD" Dawson. I knew JD for many years, truly a great guy. I first met JD back in the early 70's when I worked "Frank's Finer Foods" party store. JD always had a story to share, a joke to tell. My sincerest condolences to out to JD's entire family. JD will be sadly missed by his family & many friends as well. RIP my friend, see ya on the other side.
