Larry (Pawley Family),
Please accept our sincere condolences and prayers for your bereavement. I shared lifelong memories with TD as a friend and classmate (Washington Elementary, Simonsen Jr High and Jefferson City Sr High Class of 1962). May God bless you and keep you in His care.

Although you’re no longer “Here” , you’ll always be in my heart & memories 💖
I’m comforted to know you’re at peace, my dear cousin 🕊️
TD was elected president of our class entering Simonsen Jr. High School and was a member of the great JCHS 1962 graduating class. After graduation, TD and I went east to college where TD earned his undergraduate degree from Harvard, before attending law school. TD’s family have been college graduates for generations. TD and I share the same birthday! I’m grateful we exchanged letters the last couple years; even in poor health, TD retained his sense of humor. May he rest in peace. With deep sympathy to his family,
So sorry for the loss of another great schoolmate.. rest in God’s love..
Honor to our Pawley Family
