    Jeff you said it. Harold was a role model for Rob growing up and a dear friend since. We are very saddened by this news. A heartfelt sympathy to Verna and the entire Watson family. Here is the obituary and service information. We will head up early Wed. morning with the 32. RIP Harold we will miss you and fondly remember our good times with you.

    Harold Milford Watson
    (Apr 14, 1940 - Oct 3, 2010)

    Peacefully at the cottage in Sauble Beach, on Sunday, October 3, 2010, Harold Watson of Waterdown, at the age of 70 years. Beloved husband of Verna (nee Klodt) and loved father of Jayne, Janice (Gary), Scott (Angela), and Sean. Dear Grandpa of Amanda Swirski (Richie), Mallory McGough, Drew Watson, Chloe Watson, and great-grandson Charlie Swirski. Will also be deeply missed by sisters Linda (Ken Brunton), Lois (Rob Graham) and sister-in-law Jayne (Wayne Tullock). Also survived by his uncles, Rusty Watson (Norma predeceased), and David Watson (Flossie) as well as many nieces and nephews.

    Harold’s lifelong passion for street rods led him and Brian Hounsell to create one of the first car shows in this area. Over the past 40 years this has become the largest car show in Ontario. He will be missed by many.

    Friends may visit with the family at KITCHING, STEEPE & LUDWIG FUNERAL HOME, 146 Mill Street North, Waterdown on Wednesday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. where the Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, October 7, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. Cremation to follow. If so desired, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy. Please sign the Book of Condolence.

    All street rods are welcome!
