Obituary of Paul Watson

Watson, Paul – December 19th, 1958 to January 2nd, 2025

Paul passed away at the Wingham 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 6 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 99.3FM as a DJ.  He loved music so DJ 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 and 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 6 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.
