Obituary of George Watson

George passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, June 15 at Westmount Retirement Home, Kitchener, his latest "relocation" of the many in his final 6 months. Proud father of Sandra (Wayne) Berlet of Waterloo, Judy Watson of Barrie, Ron (Tina) Watson of Waterloo and Reg Watson of Peterborough. Predeceased by his wife Inez in 2013, parents "Andy" and Margaret Watson and brother Joseph. George will be remembered by grandchildren Joey and Kylie Watson, Paul, Brie and Thomas Mantynen and many nieces and nephews, especially Bonnie. He was a memorable character to most he met within the community. George was a blacksmith in Ayton and went on to work at Clemmer Industries in Waterloo for more than 40 years. George was active in his many interests and loved to share about them all - old country music, writing stories or reading, woodworking, gas and steam engines, cars and car racing, trains and really just about anything mechanical in nature. George took us back to a simpler time in his recollections of the past. We will miss that link. George was a member of Knox Presbyterian Church for 64 years.
