Ian Watson
1963
Ian Watson (MBA) passed away in July after a determined battle with cancer. He leaves to mourn his passing his beloved wife Lila-Jean (McConkey), his son Graeme (Michelle), and grandchildren Thomas and Hannah, his daughter Margo and grandson Ben and his daughter Sheila (Lib) and grandson Nathan. Ian's life was shaped by his upbringing in Kingston, the many summers the family spent in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and his working years in Toronto and Ottawa. He always felt fortunate to retire at the relatively early age of 58 – after 26 years’ service to the Treasury Board Secretariat in Ottawa – and return to live in Kingston, where he pursued many interests and voluntary activities.
