Hugh LAWSON Obituary

Sorry to read of Hughs passing.
Was lucky to of had Hugh as a Southland rep coach many years ago, can still hear his Scottish accent yelling at us from the sidelines that continued through into the senior grades.

A very well respected man.

RIP

To the Family of Hugh Lawson we send our heartfelt sympathy we remember Hugh with a smile on our faces he was the Southland Under 14 Soccer Team coach and Our Scott was one of the lads in the team we all travelled to Tokaroa for the Aug/Sep tournament.. Such a fun time for parents and players alike how that man loved his Soccer. As a family you must have some great memories share them to keep Hughie in you hearts.

Tony and Dean and families. I'm so sorry to read of the passing of your father.
I will always remember him for his excellent coaching abilities on the football field.
I'm sure he will be sadly missed by the football followers of Southland.
Another taken to soon.

Great memories over many years on and off the pitch with a fellow scot. I watched a game with Hughie then they opened the astro turf at thompson turnbull, i said to him how would like to play on that pitch. he said i would like to play on any pitch. RIP Shug.

Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of your lovely dad, his smile said it all, he was always so pleased to see you and it may have been a while but it felt like yesterday, Love to you all, Lizzie and Richie xxxx

Sending our love and condolences to Fay, Tony, Alison, Gregor and Callum on the passing of Hughie. I Have a lot of memories of Hughie from sharing Christmas Days and him visiting Christchurch but the two stand out ones are dancing on the tables with Hughie at the Football clubrooms and playing cards and having a few drinks one New Years Eve. Fly high Hughie. Love Steph, Pete and Olivia xx

The small man with a lot of character and a voice you could hear accross the golf course. Was fantastic with the kids, and all the coaching he did with the them for soccer. I always remember him telling me that everything would be perfect if he could only get that green grass to grow blue. Glenda and I had a lot of laughs over the years with Fay and Hughie and our sincere sympathy to Fay, Tony and Dean and families. He was an icon who will always be remembered.

Very fond memories of Xmas day's and catching up with Hugh. We will miss your cheeky smile and humour.
