Cook, Lawson Russell
Born in Meaford on January 3, 1942, a son of the late Emerson and Pearl (nee White) Cook, Lawson passed away in Owen Sound on Saturday September 28, 2019 at the age of 77.

While working there Lawson acquired many lifelong skills including carpentry, electrical, plumbing and running heavy equipment. He carried these skills throughout his life as he tackled many projects. Lawson will be remembered as a well known technician with Bell Canada who continued to assist many in the area with his expertise following his retirement.
Lawson is survived by his much loved partner and best friend Linda Clarke (nee Brownlee) of Meaford and is fondly remembered by her children: son Ryan (Cheryl) Clarke of Kitchener and their daughter Marley, daughter Amy (Brock) Yaskovitch of Meaford and their children Cooper, Parker and Bryer, and son Shawn (Stephanie) Clarke of Ottawa and their son Gavin.
