Joseph "Lefty" Dawson

d. November 22, 2022

Joseph “Lefty” Dawson peacefully passed on November 22, 2022 surrounded by loved ones. Everyday was spent reminding Joyce, his loving wife of 66 years, how lucky he was and how much he loved her. After a career at Continental Can-Crown Cork & Seal spanning 43 years, he enjoyed episodes of Forensic Files and casual chat with his wife. Always with his “little dog” by his side. Husband was not his only title. Joe was a father of two, Pop-pop of six, and Great Grandfather of twelve, loved by all. A Memorial Service will be held on Jan. 21, 2023 at the Thomas E. Melvin & Son Funeral Home, 15522 S. DuPont Hwy., Harrington, DE at 12 Noon.  A visitation will be one hour prior starting at 11 AM.
