He was knowledgeable,courteous and and reliable in his commitments.
His involvement and contribution to Client media strategy and business objectives were always valued. A very likeable man who would be missed by those who knew him.
Sad day. Good man. Great loss to the industry. RIP
Very sad to hear this. Lawsy was a formidable but fair boss, and I always learnt something from him every time I spoke to him.
