We are deeply saddened by the lost of Ron. We know he is with the Father and will be free of pain. It is a sad day for everyone close to him, but knowing that he will be home with the Lord makes this easier to hold him near. There will be sad days ahead. There will also be happy days thinking of all the great times the family had together. We will miss him. Dave can remember the day they both sat in Marie and Bill’s back yard and had a good time together, I will always remember his happy greating he gave me when we got toghther. We love you and will see you soon.
We are sorry to hear about your lose. He will be very much missed at the family get togethers. I am sorry to hear that he was in so much pain but now he will have no more suffering and will be at peace. I hope that everything will be ok with everyone in the coming days they will be long. There is so few words to say but we are there for you when you need us. I will see you soon.
Our deepest sympathy and prayers for all our dear Watt family, Ron was such a jolly person whenever we saw him
He left you with a real warm feeling and a Scottish brogue
to boot. Such a sweet man. May you all be comforted to know he is in heaven playing the bagpipes for our Lord,
May God bless you all. Love Gino and Barb and family
I remember when I was visiting and we went to the beach, uncle Ron was going to throw me in the water and he chased me and kept chasing me. I had to jump over a person who was tanning to get uncle Ron to stop! That was a close call. Whooooh!! I know that he is at peace and he does have some great company. I love you Auntie Buntie, Bill,Marie and family, Sharon and family and Ian, our thoughts and prayers r with you……
On behalf of my family, thank you for the kind words and loving support. We love you with all of our hearts. We will miss “papa” but know that he’s in a better place now, watching Golf and Soccer nonstop, no doubt! With love, The Watts
