It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dearly loved husband and father, James ‘Jim’ Watters on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2012 at the Northside Community Guest Home.
Born in Sydney, he was the son of the late James and Mae (MacArthur) Watters.
Jim had a 35 year career with Air Canada working throughout the maritimes, spending the majority of these years in Stephenville, Nfld. and it was here that he and his wife Hazel raised their family. A dedicated husband, father and worker, Jim enjoyed a very large circle of friends and helped many a weary traveller in his time at Air Canada. Following his retirement, Jim, along with wife Hazel, pursued his love of gardening, fishing and spending time in the outdoors whenever he could. In his later years, Jim took great joy in spending time with his family and especially his two granddaughters, Holly and Amy.
Jim is survived by his loving wife, Hazel (Dyer) Watters, Bras d’Or; daughter, Suzie (Terry) Dwyer, Wellington, N.S.; son, Ronald Watters, Montreal, Que.; two precious granddaughters, Holly and Amy Dwyer. He is also survived by his sisters, Delores Lannon, Eileen (Gil) Doggett, Karen (Michael) Laprise; sister-in-law, Joan Watters, many nieces and nephews, as well as the extended Dyer family.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Winston Watters; brother-in-law, Stan Lannon.
