Thomas Wayne Lawson

He was born on February 28, 1952 in Portsmouth, Ohio to the late Eugene and Lucille (Grooms) Lawson. Thomas was with his loving wife Debbie for 44 years. He loved playing golf—he treasured his Spring golf trips with his closest friends. A devoted father, Thomas enjoyed traveling and watching his son play baseball. He loved spending time with his family and making them home cooked meals. He served his country in the United States Navy and was a member of the American Legion Post 285 in Hebron. He was employed by Walker Mfg. from 1978-1994 and has been employed by Lakewood High School since 1994, and little league baseball coach for several years. Tom was a man of great integrity and talent—there wasn’t anything he could not do. Tom was an avid fan of the OSU Buckeyes, Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Indians.
