Dear Trevor. I am so glad that I got to meet you. Thank you for welcoming me into your home. I will always remember you with a twinkle in your smile. My warmest regards to John, Paul, Steve, Maree and the whole Watson clan as you say farewell today. Luv Lu & ET xx
My condolences to you Maree you will certainly miss your dad, I still have great memories camping at Oakura beach and as the milkman of your dad.
What a long and fulfilling life Trevor enjoyed. A wonderful brother to my mum (Margaret) and a great husband and dad to his kids! Mum adored him. Sadly we were almost always separated by the Cook Strait. I still remember him in his shorts and white singlet in Chard Street. Our love to all the family left behind ❤️
RIP Mr Watson, my condolences to the Watson family. Kerry Parker
