I have received information that Ron Lawless, formerly of Elk County, passed away on 8-31-2010.  Ron is the father of Toby Lawless, married to Anna Johnson Lawless, and Megan Lawless.  Ron's former wife is Trish Malone Lawless.  I know that the funeral is Friday at 10:00 at the Mount Olivet Cemetery, graveside services only; at least we think that is where it will be.  That is all the info that I have.  Ron used to work for the Montgomery County Road Department, but I am not aware of what his employment was at the time of his death.  I am sure that patryn will put the obit on here when Zimmerman (Countryside) puts it online.
