Condolence From: Jim and Linda Ferguson
Dear Watson Family:
Though we did not know Bill well, he regularly sat in the same pew, or close by to us during Sunday morning Mass.
He was a fixture in our St Boniface community and we will miss seeing his smiling face.
Thinking of you.
Jim, Linda and Scot Ferguson/Hensall

Condolence From: Ron and Dianne Ducharme
George,Angela and the Watson Family
We are sorry for your loss
Our prayers and sympathy go out
to all of you

Condolence From: Terry and Helen Rau
To the Watson Family:
We remember how good friends Andrew Rau ( dad) and Billy were, especially when Andrew was at the BWRH. The 2 would go for coffee often hopefully Andrew would buy Bill’s coffee since Bill drove.
We think there was also the odd trip to the slots in Clinton..
These are fond memories, keep them close.

Condolence From: Brenda Morgan
To Billy’s family,,
I just wanted to say how shocked I was to see Bill’s obit. in the paper today. I know how old he was, but he seemed to be the kind of man, who was going to be around forever. I used to work at Hansen’s Grocery Store, in Exeter, and he used to come in for his chicken wings. Man, how he loved those things. But if they weren’t big enough for him, he would make sure he let us know the next time he was in. LOL. I always enjoyed out talks, and laughs, he sure did love to laugh, and he had the nicest smile. He touched so many people. For someone who seemed so gruff, he sure had a lot of people who respected him, and enjoyed being around him.. I am so sorry for your loss, Billy was a good man, in so many ways..

Condolence From: Chuck & Tanya Erb
To the Watson Family:
I have good memories of Bill, when he White Washed the barn on our home farm. I always looked forward to that time. He was also a regular at our Garage for years, and we always enjoyed his good hummor.
We are unable to attend visitation or the Funeral, but be assured you are all in our Thoughts & Prayers

Condolence From: Dianne (Thiel) Beattie

May we offer our sincere sympathy to the family of Bill Watson.Bill was a frequent visitor at the Zurich Variety store where our 2 oldest girls Melody and Michaela work. They would always put on a fresh pot of coffee when he came in and enjoy a little history lesson from Bill. They will miss his visits. RIP Bill.

Condolence From: Mary Anne & Greg Sunderland

You are in our thoughts and prayers. May your memories of the good times see you through this difficult time. He was a great story teller, credited his longevity to eating honey three times a day, and he loved the slots!! He is now reunited with your Mom.
Uncle Bill was my Godfather.
With sympathy, Mary Anne
