    Default VALE - Noel Watson

    NOEL WATSON
    1942 - 2013


    It is with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye that I announce the sad passing of Noel Watson.

    Oh buggar! As Jim has already said "One on natures Gentlemen!"
    There are some people that you pass in life's journey that leave an impression upon you and Noel was certainly one of those.
    Condolences to Noels' family.

    Condolences to his family and close friends in this difficult time.
