My condolences. I met John in Gillam when he joined his son John, me, and several of our friends, on a snowmobile excursion from Limestone GS to Port Nelson on the Hudson Bay coast. We set up a large prospector tent with a wood stove and we offered to make room for John but he didn't want to intrude. He came completely self sufficient and set up his own little tent complete with a small stove burning 3-hour logs to provide heat. It was quite a long ride, breaking trail through deep snow, and a couple of steep hills that we struggled to climb. Although John was quite a bit older than all of us he was one tough character, and very capable of looking after himself. He clearly loved the outdoors and was a pleasure to spend time with.

To the Watt Family, please accept my sincerest condolences for the loss of your Husband, Father and Grandfather. I had the honour of working for John in the mid-sixties, during our time together as Members of the Provost Corps, at CJATC Rivers, Manitoba. John as the Section Sargeant and I as a young Soldier. I can truly say that I worked for no finer individual than John Watt. A true gentleman and leader, who set the example and standard that my success in the military resulted from. I owe him so much. Rest in peace John, till we meet again.

John, "still fishing for the first time" he said, in front of our house, in our driveway he joked on Stratford Island. He was 87 here, stayed in a tent for 21 days while he visited. He ate all 4 Pickeral after his son John filleted them... by himself. We ate chicken!! He was such a character!!

I didn't know him well, but it was thanks to him that Sharon and I got our first "real" job. Condolences to Sharon and all her brothers and extended family on the passing of your father.

I have many fond memories of my Uncle John. He had a great sense of humour & a really special way with all us kids. As an adult, he kept us amused & captivated with his many stories of his army life, camping and guiding adventures. We always enjoyed our times with him & his family. Our condolences and love to his wife, Anna, and to the rest of his family. He will be sadly missed. Karen Roberts
