" Eddy was like a Family extension to me. Even though we haven't seen each other in years, I will miss him. My heart goes out to the whole family. I remember driving in with him in the morning when I was in my teens. He worked I believe at Massy Ferguson then and I worked down the street. He always made me feel welcome in his home and like one of the family. He will be sorely missed. - Posted by: John Hurd (Friend of Ripton and the Whole Family) on: Mar 24, 2014

My condolences to the Lawson family. Mr Lawson was a great guy, I didn't now him well, but he was always pleasant and said hello, to me when I visited many times during my youth. This was many years ago during school ages, but a decent man nonetheless. - Posted by: Dave Kot (Dwight's Friend) on: Mar 24, 2014

Mr Lawson was a very nice man. He invited you in to be with the family. There was one Sunday evening, the girls were busy doing the comb outs and he made a beet drink for everyone, asked me to try it and it was great. I enjoyed the time spent with them and seeing him afterwards later in years. What a great family. - Posted by: Ruth (nadeau) millan (Friend of the whole family) on: Mar 23, 2014
