The following messages of condolence and symbols
have been added in memory of Robert.

Sincere condolences to the Watson family on the loss of your Dad. I have many fond memories of your Dad & Mum at Victoria St Methodist Church. Lots of laughs & good times were shared.
May he Rest In Peace

Great memories of Mr Watson (never could call him Bob as he asked). Kind, warm, generous. Great sense of humour. Now re-united with Mrs Watson. I bet they're singing and playing the piano together. Sincere condolences to the family. Best wishes, Bron.

Fond memories of Bob (and Betty) at Christmas and birthdays. Wonderful chats, always so engaging. Such a lovely man, so very proud of his family. Sending much love to Jude, Di, Jenny and families. Will be thinking of you all xxx

To Jen, Judy, and Di
We send our love from our family to you and your families at this very sad time.
Your beautiful dad is now with his beloved, rest in peace, Bob.
Love
Jen, Al, Jess, Sammi, Cam, Jackson, Boz and Pippi xxx

While fossicking through your house this week, we came upon this poem. We left it a bit too late to include in your funeral so thought we could post it here:

Pilot' s Prayer.
Dear Lord, please look down on me
If you should get a chance
While Your 'eye is on the sparrow'
I'd appreciate a glance.

In Your tower up in Heaven
As you watch the eagles soar,
You know the joy I've felt
As Your wonders I explore.

From the early morning sunrise
To the starry moonlit nights
My simple perch near Heaven
Has revealed Your glorious sights.

But when my flight is over
And no longer there's a wait
I pray for a smooth landing
At Heaven's Pearly Gate.

Far beyond the blue horizon
There's a 'hanger in the sky'
Your home for weary pilots
Whose spirits never die.

Fly high Dad xxx

I suspect that I'm only one of a handful of people still around who were members of the Victoria St Methodist church in Footscray. Bob and Betty were heavily involved in the life of the church. I remember Bob as the superintendent of the Sunday School and Betty was one of ny Sunday School teachers. Back in the day there was choir practice every Thursday night. Bob would drive past the church on his way home from work and beep the horn. This was met with a chorus of "hello Bob". Well done good and faithfull servant.

Was a privilege to meet and have interesting conversations with Bob. An intelligent interesting man. Enjoyed our chats very much. Love to Di and all the family during this time. Fran & Rus.
