Lawrence Dawson Obituary

I'm sorry to hear of Mr Dawson's passing, he was my history teacher at PW. I enjoyed his class. He'll be missed by all.

I was saddened to hear of Larry's passing, remembering all the great times we had as teenagers in Berwyn. My sympathies to Gayle and the family.

Mr. Dawson was my favorite teacher at Proviso West(Class of 88). He clearly enjoyed teaching and I truly enjoyed his sense of humor. I have great memories of such an honorable man. My condolences to the family.

Mr. Dawson was a terrific man, and a great teacher. He was one of few instructors at PW that I had the opportunity to know at deeper than surface level. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Dawson family as they grieve this wonderful man.

I had the pleasure of working under Larry for two years and he was the best boss I ever worked for. He was a wonderful mentor and a great teacher. He lives on in the work of all the students and other teachers whose lives he touched.

Keith,

Just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about your dad and also sorry that I was not around for the funeral. Meeting your Dad only once was enough for me to know that he was a very sincere and happy man, who did a wonderful job in raising a son like you. I know that he has found a special place in my life as I get to see him every day I see you. My prayers are with you and your family

Larry was always one of the funniest and best teachers at West. I will always remember our good times togehter as department chairs and teachers. He was a one of a kind and a great friend. He will be remembered by many.

Larry Dawson was an enormous inspiration to students and teachers at Proviso West. His humor, intelligence, dedication and integrity will long be remembered and appreciated by so many people.

Condolences to the Dawson family. Larry was a great co-worker who always had a smile. He put up a good fight.

Larry lived his retirement to the fullest. We loved seeing him in the neighborhood putt putting around in his Porsche. He prided himself with his immaculate lawn and landscaping and was a wonderful neighbor. We will miss him. Our deepest symathies to his wife Gayle and his family.
