Man dies hours before ceremony honouring his father

TRENTON, Ont. - Leroy Lawes had said it was going to be the trip of a lifetime.

The Trenton, Ont., man couldn’t wait to be in Holland for the 65th anniversary of the country’s liberation by Canadian troops, where his late father, Marshall, was to be honoured by having a bridge named after him.

Hours before the ceremony, Lawes died in his sleep, very near the spot where his father had been killed by a sniper's bullet decades earlier. He was 67.

Local authorities have decided to re-rename the bridge to include the sons' name as well as his fathers'

'Our' Canadians, have and will always be welcome on and in, Dutch soil. If the family so decides, we will watch over the sons' grave as we watch over that of his father.
