I have printed it off so Harold and Iris can read it. I am sure they will love it. Trevor was very impressed and expressed how well written it was.

I was able to spend a few days with Dave in mid May. Even though he was 90, he was still seeing into the future and asked me to help him do some things for him that would be useful later. We cut up a pine tree that an NB Power trimming contractor cut down but was going to chip (why chip it when he could burn it this winter?). I trimmed dead branches off the apple tree so the rest of the tree would be less stressed. I moved wire and scrap metal so he could mow around his transplanted fir trees. I helped patch a broken window at the old homestead so water damage would be minimized. I tilled up some ground so he could plant a garden for winter veggies. He was still working on his "to do" list just before he passed - definitely a "one off."Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990342381052139183.post-70792699938876337152017-06-14T13:11:25.269-03:002017-06-14T13:11:25.269-03:00I'm with everyone else that this helped me kno...I'm with everyone else that this helped me know a man I have no relation to in a beautiful way.

This tribute to your grandfather is beautiful and wonderful. I would think that anyone who reads it would feel a space in their heart that would have been filled having known him. <br /> My opinion is <br />:that your Dad is quite a bit like him.<br /> :You have reminded me that I wanted to make rhubarb juice this year.<br /> :AND his competitive spirit has been extended to each of you. You use the cards that you have been dealt in <br /> the most beneficial way. Your will, your faith and your competitive nature have served you well in your challenging lives. <br />Way to go Watson Family<br />Sorry for your loss, but Happy that you have great memories and lessons to be thankful for.Dayna Lymburnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990342381052139183.post-70897037564680466772017-06-13T07:45:58.822-03:002017-06-13T07:45:58.822-03:00Sorry to hear about your Grampy's death but yo...Sorry to hear about your Grampy's death but you have left me with a very nice picture of who he was and the love he had for his family which he has obviously passed along to his children and grandchildren.
