Col. Zim E. Lawhon

He was always such a help to me at the University of Scranton. I am sad at his passing but happy that he was with us for such a long time.

Mary Triano and family ...sending our condolences to you and yours.

Mary, and all the Lawhon Family. Please accept our condolences on your father's death. He was truly respected and admired.

I did not know the Colonel, in fact. my best wishes and prayers to his family. I thank you for his service. It is a tragic time that retired service members of such an important time are sadly leaving us. They will be missed, so much wisdom. I had the opportunity in middle school, to talk with both veterans of ww2 and holocost survivors on school trips. It's something that will always stay with me. I know all their souls live on. such courage, such calm, strength, It saddens me that my children (someday) will never get the first hand knowledge I was so blessed to get. They will be missed!

Our thoughts and our hearts are with you, Patricia. Rest in peace, dear Colonel.

God Bless Pat.

To Jack, Gretchen and all of the Lawhons that we grew up with in our high school years I Read the News Today.. Oh Boy. I'm very sorry to hear of your father passing away recently. His obituary shows he had an incredibly full and interesting life, and we are fortunate that some of it was spent in Scranton. I have great memories of hanging around your house and all of the things we did as a group of friends. Best wishes to all of the Lawhons, and may you find happiness at this sad time as you reflect on his life.

Our hearts and souls are filled with nothing but love and admiration for The Col., Patricia, and the entire Lawhon clan.

I remember him well during his years at the University of Scranton. At ease, Colonel.

Pat and Family,
My deepest sympathies on the passing of Zim. Pat, I know you will be lost. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lawhon Family: I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of The Colonel. My family and I spent a number of summers at the lake with your mom and dad and had wonderful times. What a great man he was! He will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Heartbroken, a beautiful soul. My deepest sympathy to your beautiful family.

So sorry to hear of the death of your Dad, Mary. I remember him stopping by at the hospice unit at Mercy to see you.

I was so sorry to hear of the death of "The Colonel." A significant part of our young adulthood was played out in the comings and goings at the Lawhon home on North Washington Ave., and what a wonderful, multi-faceted texture of life we found in the spirit of the place he helped create. May he rest in peace, and may you all know you are remembered with love.

Dear Lawhon family, Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. We enjoyed being neighbors with Pat, Zim and the entire family for 32 years at the lake. We always looked to forward the family birthday party for Zim. We admired Zim's energy and love of life and family. He will be dearly missed by many.

To Bird and Family-So sorry for your loss. May you look amongst yourselves and see his legacy...and smile.

Liz- I am so very sorry for your loss. What an amazing man he was. I will pray a Divine Mercy Chaplet for your father's soul. Peace and love.

To the Leon family- What an inspiration and legacy your Grand/Great Grand father is leaving for his posterity. My he rests in Jeus's and Mary loving arms, surrounded by angels.

My sincere condolences to the Lawhon family. Col. was one of the finest gentlemen I have ever met. Col. was my boss in the Registrar's and was always fair and thoughtful. At the end of the day, he would often thank the staff for a good day's work. The world has lost a very great man.

Condolences and prayers for the Lawhon Family. The Col. was someone I admired both as a Student at the University of Scranton, and as the father of several of my friends. He was truly a great man of character and common sense.

will always have fond memories of my time spent with the family, he was always ready for a great conversation.condolences to you all. erin

Dear Pat and family, Sincere sympathy. memories of a great trip together, Sincerely, Blanche Hope, Cazenovia. New York

Zim, the Colonel, was one of the finest gentlemen I have ever met. He will be sorely missed not only by his large family, but by the "U" community, the Lynndale community & everyone who had a chance to sit & chat with him.

To the Lawhon family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of, "the Colonel". He was a fine man and a pillar in the community. Even though his life was long and indeed full his loss will be felt by many. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember Col. Lawhon as the long time registrar @ the University of Scranton. RIP.

Sending my condolences to Mrs. Lawhon and family especially to my friends Zim & Gretchen. As a UofS student during the confusing & conflicting Viet Nam war, it was comforting to have the campus presence of the " Colonel " whose image was far from conflicted and confused.I enjoyed seeing the FB photo of the "Colonel" on the Sunporch recently and am glad to have had a chance to read the narrative of his life. God bless the Lawhon family.

I never had the pleasure of meeting the Colonel but worked with Katie and Bunny at Gettysburg NMP for 18 years and have heard many wonderful stories about him and his extended family. My sincere condolences to the entire family and a warm salute to the Colonel on a life well lived. Semper Paratus.

Colonel Lawhon was loved and respected by all who knew him. An extraordinary man in every way. It was an honor to know him. Prayers of comfort for his family and may he rest in eternal peace. God's speed Colonel Lawhon.

Lawhon family,
I only knew the Colonel for a brief period during his U of S tenure. But, the impression he made was everlasting. A hero .. witty .. intelligent .. and very interesting man. One of Americas Greatest Generation.
Celebrate his life, you have much to be proud of.
