I certainly enjoyed my time at the Lunenburg Post Office when Ronnie would come by everyday except on days that he wasn't feeling his best. I enjoyed listening to his many stories and we'd always find something to poke fun at. Such a great guy and he missed Linda so much and he talked about her often. My prayers are with the entire family and heaven surely gained a great guy! I will miss you brother! Jonathan Sharpe

Ronnie and I had a bunch of good times together visiting other CB enthusiasts and some out of the way CB radio shops. Ronnie was one to help other CBers and could fine tune a beam antennae better than anyone I know and had more knowledge of electronics than the average novice. He was a good person and a great friend and will be sadly missed by people all over the world. My thoughts and prayers to his family and loved ones.

I started talking to "Maniac" in ‘82 and met him in ‘87. What a character! He and Linda were the most gracious hosts. We visited them again in ‘93. Another memorable time. Ronnie took us all over the Victoria area and introduced us to a load of wonderful radio operators. He was my CB hero. I was so sorry when he lost Linda. She was his world. RIP my friend. You were a legend. Lovingly, Lady White Tornado

Ronald Coleman Dawson, 64, of Lunenburg, VA sent out his final “10-4” to reside at his new “20” with his wife, Linda Seamster Dawson, in Heaven on October 29, 2020. He was preceded in death by his parents Aubrey Bowen & Mary Ella Jones Dawson and his brother Roger Dale Dawson. He is survived by his step-son, Glenn A. Gilmer of Roanoke; step-granddaughter, Alex of New York; sisters Pamela D. Dehart (Larry) of Amelia, VA, Wanda G. Dawson of Lunenburg, VA, Sharon D. Gaulding (Michael) of Keysville, VA; three nieces; three great nephews and his beloved aunts Pat Anderson and Genevieve Covington. Ronnie (aka Maniac, Big Thunder, Party Pooper) enjoyed spending time talking to his “good buddies” all over the world on his CB radio. He enjoyed fishing and taking strolls through the Railroad Park wearing his fisherman hat and bibbed overalls. He had a sweet tooth and loved chocolate. A graveside service will take place at 12pm on Saturday, November 7, 2020 at Lakeview Cemetery, Victoria, VA. Flowers are welcome or please consider donations to the Victoria Fire & Rescue Squad.
