Avis de décès de George-Duncan Watt

WATT George Duncan b. July 31, 1947 in Picton, Ontario Duncan, known as Dunc to his family and friends, passed away peacefully February 17, 2008. Like a Scottish warrior, he fought a courageous and ever-optimistic battle with brain cancer for almost two years. He lost the physical battle, but those who love him will proudly remember his emotional victory over the disease. He faced every challenge, in life and in illness, with hope and a dose of laughter, and he never let cancer steal away his zeal for life or his enormous capacity to love. The Watt family moved to West Vancouver in 1952, where Dunc spent his school years. Dunc never forgot his teenaged summers at the Douglas Lake Ranch; he always wanted to be a cowboy. Not having followed this dream, he realized after a few years as a CA that he needed to live life away from a desk. He discovered a passion for "dirt" and began a career in Real Estate. His business cards read KOD: King of Dirt. Dunc was always leading the pack on the next hot place to be. He will be especially remembered for his amazing sense of humour. When you were around Dunc, you always had a smile on your face. Predeceased by his loving parents, George and Mary. Sadly missed by the Watt, Jeffery-Watson, and Bodel-Johansen families, and by his many friends. The families want to thank the dedicated staff at St. Joseph's Hospital in Comox, particularly Dr. Silcox and Duncan's nurses. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Zajak Foundation Ranch, #300-2006 W. 10th Ave, Vancouver, BC, V6J2B3 . A celebration of life will be held at 2 p.m., Monday, March 3rd, 2008, at West Vancouver United Church, 2062 Esquimalt Ave, 604-922-9171, with a reception to follow at the West Vancouver Yacht Club, 5854 Marine Drive, 49½21'35N, 123½16'39W, 604-921-7575.
