WATSON, Trevor McKnight


Born Jan.4, 1929 in Manitoba, died peacefully July 5, 2016 in North Vancouver. Pharmacist, scholar, university lecturer, teacher, world traveller, family man.


Trevor was a leader in the pharmacy profession in B.C. and across Canada; a dedicated lay leader of his church since the 1950's; and above all a devoted family man. Many sought his sage advice and could always count on his wise and measured counsel.

Goodbye dear Dad, dear Papa. Always in our hearts, always remembered.
