Aunty Marg, Aunty Shirl and all the Dawson Cousins,
Uncle Ken will be in our hearts forever. Always a hug, a whisker rub, a word of advice and a story or two. May memories comfort you during the tough days and his love for you bring you peace within your hearts. I'm hoping Uncle Ken and My Dad are catching the big one in heaven together.

My sincere apologies to the Dawson family on the Shocking loss of a great man. Ken was the most inspiring and honest individual. It was a great honor to know him. He brought smiles to so many people. He will be greatly missed by all his friends at the Edmonton Antique Car Club. Ken helped many of members repair and maintain their antique cars. I'm sure Ken is smiling down on us while he drives his beloved Ford Model A coupe home. My sincere condolences to the Dawson family.

My condolences to Marg (and daughter, sons, spouses and grandchildren) AND Shirley. I had the great pleasure of attending the Celebration of Life of Ken's and Shirley's Mom. And, Shirley's 65th which Ken also organized. What great tributes - both. I can only imagine the celebration of Ken's life. Shirley always spoke of him as being such an incredible family man and friend to oh SO many. And, an extremely hardworking man. My thoughts are and will be with you all.

To Marg and family. We were shocked when we read the passing of Ken. I have many fond memories of Ken when we were growing up, when Ken and Marg started going together, playing hockey with Ken for the Westwood Community League.We had the pleasure recently when Dawson Motors had an open house and Brett Kissel played music. Most of all I remember Ken as being my friend. May he rest in peace,

Laurie and Family,
Please accept our sincere and heartfelt condolences of the passing of your dad. Change is inevitable but it is a sad day for our entire Glengarry, Killarney, Athlone and Rosslyn communities who have always had the cornerstone Dawson Motors to 'greet' us while entering or leaving our homes. We will miss seeing Ken working the pumps or chatting with customers but never too busy to give you a smile and a wave. Peace to you and your families. Your friends from the Queen Elizabeth CHS Class of 1979.
