He was predeceased by his wife Louise; one grandson, two sons-in-law, five sisters and three brothers. Dad farmed till he was in his 50s, then went on to do various jobs such as milk tester, salesman and carpentry. To many he was known as the Watkins man. He was very active in the community, president of the Co-op for several years, president of the Federation des Aires, and very involved in the building and function of the Centre de l'Amitie. He loved to play horseshoes and collected a cabinet full of trophies. He also liked to travel.

Viewing will be at 10:30 a.m. Interment will follow in the Parish Cemetery. A special thank you to Dr. de Moissac, to Ste. Anne hospital staff, to all his wonderful homecare people for the care they gave him and to his friends at the Chalet who looked out for him.
