We certainly will miss my mother’s baby brother, our wonderful Uncle John. May God’s peace be with Aunt Mary Lou, Mary,Mark,Michelle, Mike, Alex, Nathan, and Jacob.
I will miss you Uncle John. You were my dad’s (Paul Rawson) baby brother. My dad was always excited to see his brother at reunions and get togethers. He passed that excitement on to us. Therefore, I always looked forward to seeing Uncle John at family reunions. I always called him “my favorite Uncle”. I will always have fond memories of you- Elise Katherine Rawson Wyatt (Ball, Louisiana)
