Anyone ever hear of Tuskeegee airman Herman "Ace" Lawson?

If so, is he still alive?

If not, when and where did he pass away?

Checking Google, there’s no mention if Major Lawson has died. One blog mentioned he made a personal appearance in 2012 and that he’s a resident of Nogales, Arizona.

Rest in Peace Brave Airmen, you now are with your brothers of the sky as it should be. Earth is a less by your passing but the sky is far enhanced by your presence. May the winds flow gently beneath your wings as do the winds beneath angels and righteous warriors of the sky and ye are both.
