It is with great sorrow that we, the family, announce the death of Albert Watson, Keltic Drive, on Monday, Feb. 13, 2012 at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, surrounded by his loving family.
Born Sept. 10, 1938 in Sydney, he was the eldest child of the late Margaret and York Watson. Albert was employed at a young age at the Sydney Steel Plant. He met his wife Joyce in the early 60s and they were married in 1963. He loved to go fishing with all of the kids in tow and hunting with his sons by his side. Sunday drives were also a family tradition. No one loved a cup of tea and a chat more than he did. He will be greatly missed.

He is also survived by siblings, Barbara (Clyde) Stanwick, Robert Watson, Lorway ‘Roy’ (Ann) Watson; as well as several nephews.
Besides his parents, Albert was predeceased by his wife, Joyce (Jan. 15, 2012), and a nephew, Alfred.
