Paul Watson

Paul Watson passed away at the Wingham and District Hospital after a lengthy illness. He is survived by his wife Susan. 

 

He was predeceased by his parents Frank and Winnifred Watson and his sister Jill. Paul was one of six siblings who, together with their families, are scattered across Canada.

 

Paul was born in Nottingham, England and came to Canada with his family as a child. His growing-up years were in Elliot Lake and Espanola, where he worked for E.B. Eddy and the local radio station 99.3 FM as a D.J. He loved music, so D.J. work was a perfect job. 

 

After moving to Mississauga, he ran his own freight company, worked for a pallet management company and finally managed Morris Browns, a food import business at the Ontario Food Terminal.

 

Paul always freely offered his opinions and political insights, which were always right. He was an excellent cook and a follower of “Chef John” on YouTube. He was a passionate gardener and, together with Susan, transformed their rural property. He loved music; John Denver was a favourite. 

 

Paul enjoyed spending time walking tractor and automobile lots. Paul had a soft heart for all animals, especially cats. He leaves behind six cats, whom he pampered. Most of all, he will be remembered for his generosity and kindness to so many people.

 

Private arrangements have been entrusted to McBurney Funeral Home, Wingham.
