Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dr. Lawn served my stepson and myself for the last 25 years. His eclectic yet professional manner always served us well over the years. We will all miss his smile and twinkle-in-the-eye greeting everyone knew so well.
Dr. Lawn gave me my first FAA student pilot exam in 1967. I continued to get my 1st class exams from him until I moved to another state in 1990. During those years, he was always helpful and concerned about keeping me healthy. He became a friend and was a passionate aviator.
Dr.Lawn was my AME and friend for the last 20 years. He will be missed. His personal attention to any medical or aviation need was nothing short of pure dedication. I am sorry that I am in Florida and unable to be there in person. My deepest sympathy.
