With great sadness we announce the death of Dick Dawson, husband, father, horseman, musician, piano technician, music teacher, Alfa Romeo nut and all around fantastic person. Think of music events throughout the Owens Valley area and Dick was there, either organizing events, tuning pianos, or...

Such a great guy and great horseman. It was always such a pleasure to visit with Dick and Carolyn at endurance rides. A life well lived, and a joy to others.

Mr. Dawson worked for my dad, Gus Bonta. at Inyo-Mono National Bank way back! He was also my piano teacher. I remember a wonderful, kind man. Sending love to his family.

Dick and Carolyn Dawson, one of the greatest delights of our life. Riding Endurance rides with them, touring Deep Springs Ranch School and spending time with them in Hammil Valley were alway joyous times.
