It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of William Harold Scott Lawson at his home at the age of 75 on Sunday, October 2, 2022. Scott was the beloved husband for 49 years of Monica. He was the very proud Dad of Victoria, Nicholas and Joanie, Christopher and Katherine, and the thrilled Grandpa of their baby daughter Theodora. He also leaves behind his sister Jane Lawson and his sister-in-law Mary Bye. He was predeceased by his parents, Dr. F. L. (Laurie) Lawson (October 1983) and Amelia (Billie) Lawson (October 2004).
A professional engineer, Scott was always learning new things and was eager to share what he learned about the world around him with his family. He loved to fix and build all kinds of machinery and computers, and he knew how to repair just about anything that needed to be fixed in the house. He was an amazing source of knowledge and wisdom for his two sons, who could always count on him for help with any technical problem. His passion for building, driving and repairing any type of vehicle started in his early teens and continued throughout his life. He also had a deep love of nature, and his love of camping started early in life when he went camping with his dad and sister, a love that he shared with his two sons. He had a special place in his heart for his daughter and the challenges that she has faced. He was always there for her and was a very important part of her life.
Scott's passing has left a great hole in all of our lives. We will miss him greatly, especially his stories and his big smile.
A celebration of life service will be held at GILCHRIST CHAPEL – McIntyre & Wilkie Funeral Home, One Delhi Street, Guelph on October 22, at 2:00 p.m. If desired, memorial contributions made to Heart and Stroke Foundation 1-888-473-4636 or Autism Ontario 1-800-472-7789 would be appreciated.

Thinking of you at this difficult time.
Dear Jane, so sorry to learn of the passing of Scott. Please know Barry and I are thing of you and your family at this sad time. Deb and Barry
Very sorry for your loss, Scott, and I were close friends, When he lived on Darcey St. in Cobourg, he loved tinkering ,with just about anything. He wasn't happy until it would run perfectly. The Ford Model T was his favorite. He also was good at fixing old clocks. He will be missed by all that knew him.
Jane My condolences
I remember Scott very well. When we were little kids, Dr. Lawson had a large (huge) backyard and a skeletonize Ford Model A that Scott would tinker with and load up with us on a buckboard seat and race around the circular track he had in the yard. Great fun for us but modern day parents would be horrified. 🤗 Scott was a genius with anything mechanical or electrical.
Dear Jane, I am sending a virtual hug to say that I know that loosing your brother is a tough one. Cherish all the family memories. It is love that lasts. ❤️
Dear Jane. We are so sorry to hear of your brothers passing. Sending you love during this difficult time. Sincerely Tony and Carol
Dear Jane and family, my most sincere condolences. I only met Scott a few times as a teenager but never forgot him. He was an interesting and kind man and I'm sure will be greatly missed. May his memory be a blessing.
Jane and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you all the best, Anne Burnham
