It was with great sadness that we learned of John K. Watson’s sudden death on August 9th, 2011. Mr. Watson had been a long time supporter of Threshold Housing Society, donating regularly to give local youth a chance of having stable housing. In lieu of flowers, donations were requested to be made to Threshold. John believed in community and understood hospitality. He worked for the United Nations and worked in the food service industry for most of his professional life. One of his favourite sayings was “think globally, but act locally.” John truly celebrated life with great enthusiasm and unsurpassed generosity for all. Our deepest condolesences goes to all family members. We trust many others will follow John’s example in acting locally by giving to the least able in their community a hand-up in life.
Thank you, John.
