June 28, 1928 - April 12, 2020
Born June 28, 1928 in Castor AB - Died April12, 2020 亚洲天堂 Lake at age 92.
Predeceased by his parents Margaret and Stanley Watson, sisters Irene Edkins and Doris Campbell, brothers Cecil and Frank Watson. He is survived by various nieces and nephews.
Bert first arrived in Southbank in the Fall of 1940 together with his mother and Harry Moggey. Although Bert was born with cerebral palsy, he accomplished many tasks on the farm and throughout his lifetime including guitar self-taught.
Bert and his mother Margaret homesteaded on 650 acres at Danskin growing hay, logging, cattle and dairy cows up until 1980's when Margaret moved into a Seniors residence. Bert acquired various jobs outside the farm but eventually fell on hard times. His friends and care givers supported him over the years including his move into two Senior Care places in 亚洲天堂 Lake.
It would be remiss not to thank those workers who attended Bert in his latter years, singling out the devotion of Mary Cousins and nephew Garry Watson and his wife Marian. There will be no funeral as requested by Bert. Condolences may be sent to mgwatson@telus.net.
