Dawson was an amazing friend. I enjoyed many reconnaissance hikes with him and other Monteat Hiking Club leaders. Dinners on his deck were delightful. I had the privilege of being the "bus driver" taking him and Barbara along with my wife and buddy, Don, to many 5Ks in the area. We looked forward to his Kringle at Christmas time. He delivered even when the snow was deep and the power was out and he had to bake them on his gas grill. I am so glad I could visit him before he and Barbara left for NY.

Dawson to me will always be the Mayor of Knoll Hill. He took such pride in our little neighborhood and provided amazing leadership. He knew and shared the origin stories of every house, the background of each owner / family and all of our trees and wildlife. From the moment I purchased my house, he and Barbara made me feel welcome and taught me what I needed to know to keep my home and our street and land safe and beautiful. They were the best neighbors ever, always generous with their time and stories and Dawson loved to entertain on the piano! And of course they loved to share stories and photos of their beautiful family. Dawson always amazed me with his strength and resilience. He ran marathons and competed in athletic events till very recently, and he relied on that strength in the past years as he recovered from various health challenges and accidents. He amazed me as he continued to thrive. I miss him and Barbara. The street feels very different without them. Dawson always seemed indestructible, though, and somehow I feel his spirit remains here—or at least visits! He was a very special man, and Barbara is an equally wonderful woman. I am blessed to have known them and wish Barbara and the family well, sending my love.
