    My thoughts are with your family today. This is an opportunity to celebrate Watson&&single&&s full and rewarding life. Watson&&single&&s great smile and love for the farming community are the first two things that come to mind when I think about Watson. Even today when I drive past Reid&&single&&s lane, I think back to the many times Watson would stop to chat as the McClure gang walked, ran, or biked past his farm on the way home from S.S.# 6 Hullett school. May the family find comfort in the fact that so many people had the chance to get to know Watty.

    Dan, Marita & Evie, Donna & Harry, Dave & Jack;

    We wish to express our condolences on the passing of Watt. Unfortunately we are unable to attend the funeral due to illness. Our memory of Watson as a man who always had a sense of adventure even in his latter years with the Quebec fishing trip. At the hunters picnic a few years ago, a very proud grandpa walked around the corner with Evie holding his finger and walking beside him. These plus many other memories of Watt at the Buck & Doe will be will be remembered.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Stu & Betty

    Dear Dave & Jack, Donna & Harry, Dan & Marita,
    We are sorry to hear about your Dad.
    Unfortunately we will be unable to attend the service as we are in Florida and it will be another week before we head home.
    Isn&&single&&t it wonderful that your Dad was able to be at Dave and Jack&&single&&s for Christmas dinner!!!!
    I have many wonderful memories of being at your place during our highschool years. Remember Saturday nights before the dance at Family Paradise and your Dad walking through the kitchen with the towel wrapped around him on his way upstairs to get dressed for the dance?
    Or the night that we hit the calf on the road and I went home with Donna for support as she told Mom & Dad that the car was still driveable but you couldn&&single&&t open the passenger door?
    Fond memories are timeless.
    All our love,
    Rick & Margaret
