David Findley Watson

He was the son of the late David F Watson Sr. and Henrietta Watson (Brown).

Dave served his country for 25 years with the Canadian Armed Forces (RCN) and also served with the Canadian Coast Guard for 10 years.

Dave loved to bowl and golf and was very competitive with both. He had a sense of humour like no other. He was a chef by trade and loved to cook and bake for everyone who knew him.

Dave’s love for his family was first and foremost. He battled cancer with courage and dignity.

He is survived by daughters, Michelle Martin (Lyle), Donna Watson, Kim Oakley (Paul), Terrye Chellew (Garry), Rosemarie Sullivan (Randy), Sharon Berriman (Gerald); sister, Irene Farquhar; nephews, Michael and Paul Farquhar, and David Boudreau (Nora); best friend, Wes Howard, and many grandchildren and great grandchildren who referred to him as G.G.

Predeceased by wife, Gwendolyn Watson (Shea) and brother in law, Bruce Farquhar.
