Robert Souden Watson
2938-2018
Robert Watson passed suddenly on the morning of March 9, 2018
at the Dr. Everett Chalmers hospital.
Bob graduated with a degree in Forestry Engineering from UNB
Fredericton and a Masters in Forestry Economics from Syracuse
University and had a long public service career with the Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick provincial governments. Bob retired in 1998,
focusing his attention to detail on his passions: family, community,
and music; singing with the Stepping Stones, and with the New Maryland
United Church choirs. He was a prolific collector of Big Band vinyl,
antique hurricane lamps, and vintage appliance user manuals. He loved
to garden, bake, keep an eye out on the weather and current affairs
both local and global.
In addition to his parents, Bob was predeceased by his loving
wife, Carol Dawn Watson (nee Amey). Bob is survived by his sister, Jan
(Watson) McLean (Don); his children, Anne Taylor (Jack), David Pollard
(Kim), Ceon Pollard (Donna) Christopher Pollard (Ewa); grandchildren,
Kevin, Patrick, Russell, Terri Anne, Donnell, Meghan, Joshua Struan;
and great grand-children, Bridgette, Hilary, Emily, Kaitlyn, John,
Porter, Ayla, Wyatt, Travis and Emmett.
At the request of the family, there will be no visitation.
Friends, family and those who wish to share their stories and
remembrances are invited to attend a memorial gathering that will be
held on Wednesday, March 14th, 2018 between the
hours of 6pm and 8pm, at McAdam’s Funeral Home. In lieu of
flowers, given Bob’s generous nature, donations to the New
Maryland United Church or an act of love and kindness are
welcome.
And « Oh, Bob, we are making a wee bit o’
fuss »
