Jery Lawson was my son's father in law, Clint is back on deployment but will be returning some time next month; if you would like to contact him post it on the grapevine and have Normand send it to me. I will not reply to emails because I caused Normand to get a virus and do not want to cause him more problems.

Fellow Minutemen:

I have received emails from NMCB 62 member Mark Sholtes, SWCS, USN, Retired, that his friend CEC Jerry Lawson, USN, Retired, also a former NMCB 62 Minuteman has passed away.

I have edited the emails:

It is with a very heavy heart that I announce the death of CEC Jerry Lawson, USN (Ret). A Very Good Man taken way too early.... He is survived by four wonderful children, many grand children and several great grand children. Services will be held in Plant City Florida at a time and place to be determined. Email me for more detailed information.

Jerry was in 62 from 79-83, left before the Diego Deployment, went to NCTC and retired from there. He made the 81 Rico Deployment but I don't think he went to Guam because of a medical condition. I tried to get him to join the site but he wasn't much of a computer person...

(Part of an email:)
Jerry Paul Lawson, I wish I knew more about his service but I don't. When he was in 62 with me, he was the Bravo Shops Chief for the Rico deployment. I have not seen him in any of the cruise books. He left 62 and was an instructor at the CE "A" school. I remember he was teaching a class once, reached up on a shelf to get a training aid, caught his wedding ring on the shelf which pulled off his finger in front of the entire class. If you know any NCTC types they could probably elaborate on that.

I (Mark Sholtes) am no longer in Biloxi, now in P'cola and will probably come to the reunion this year.
