It is with sadness that the family announces the death of Andrew James Watson at the Veterans Village in Saskatoon. Andy was born on a farm near Keeler. He enlisted at the age of sixteen and served as a military police officer and tank driver in France, Holland and Germany. Andy married Lillian Turner in St. Alban's Cathedral on December 20, 1946. Andy was a journeyman carpenter and worked in Prince Albert, Moose Jaw and Buffalo Narrows.
He was a solid family man with salt-of-the-earth values. He was dedicated to the well-being of Lillian, his children and grandchildren. Andy was predeceased his wife Lillian (Turner), his parents, George and May Watson (Chick) and his brothers Norman (Dorothy) and Donald (Garth). He is survived by his daughters Cheryl (Don) and Colleen (Michael) and his grandchildren Annette, Alison (Blair), Melissa (Michael), April (Sean), Tyler and A.J. and his great-grandchildren Ethan, Aidan, Rowyn, Ewan, Myah, Nuala Jean, Bodhi, Noah and Ari. Andy is also survived by his sisters Shirley (Art) and Margaret (Ian) and many nephews and nieces.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff who made a home for him in the Veterans Village. They provided Andy with exemplary love, care and friendship in an atmosphere of respect for the entirety of his life. Our father was happy in their hands and they became an extension of his family. Donations in lieu of flowers can be sent in Andy's name to the Veterans Village, Sherbrooke Community Centre, 401 Acadia Drive, Saskatoon, SK, S7H 2E7.
Arrangements were entrusted to Prairie View Cremation and Memorial Services in Saskatoon. We thank them for their kindness and professionalism.
