I remember during my time as rector that Dr Watts came to St Mary Magdalene's on Sundays whenever he was in Toronto. He was a quiet presence, but those who came to know him found him to be friendly and faithful. My wife and I were once treated to a dinner he cooked in his apartment near Bloor W. and Keele sts. His support of the Schola Magdalena choir was much appreciated.
Our condolences are expressed to the members of his family and his friends.

Dr. Harry Watts was graced with unconditional acceptance of all. As a volunteer with Corner Brook
S.P.C.A., when he was President back in the '80's, I witnessed the same compassion for the critters & things as he guided us in their care & welfare. Great sense of humour. A wonderful turn of phrase would leave one chuckling long after a meeting. He contended that any meeting that lasted more than an hour never added much value to the content. I would guide myself on that in any future meetings I was to chair, much to the gratitude of many.
Once, having been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, as a friend he once told me that attitude was 75% in beating illness. I drew on & held on to that very strongly. I remembered it on successive occasions when faced with other serious illnesses. I still use it when faced with life challenges to this day.
I have not seen Dr. Watts in many years but have lasting fond memories of his association. He had many, many friends & people just enjoyed being in his company. He had an eye for a dire circumstance and this was dealt with compassion & consideration for all involved.
Rest well Dr. Watts. Enjoy the company, once again, of great friends who had gone before you. They so enjoyed you and you were held in wonderful esteem by all .... then and now..
Signed: Anonymous.

My condolence to the family of the late Dr. Harry Watts. For many years, I drove him to and from his daily clinics. During these trips, I came to realize the knowledge and keen interest he had in almost all subjects as we talked of many things from the weather(past and present0, politics, sports, figure skating, and of course his Navy days. He served his patients with care and compassion, never one to rush anyone out the door. Many evenings it was 8'o clock we got to his home, with never a complaint . Dr.Watts was my Dr. and friend , whom I greatly trusted and respected. R.I. P . my friend.

I have known Dr. Harry Watts as a friend and worked with him throughout his tenure as CEO/Medical Director Of Western Health when I was Chief of Surgery at WMRH. He was unpretentious and caring always available when needed for guidance, advice and problem solving, big or small. It was a pleasure knowing and working with him.
You will be fondly remembered! Rest in Peace, Harry.

So saddened to hear of the untimely death of Dr. Watts. I remember our many board meetings in Corner Brook during the 1990s when he chaired the Western Health Board and I was the member representing the Bonne Bay hospital. How we chuckled and shared stories, particularly regarding his introduction to some of those quaint Newfoundland expressions, and the experiences he remember when he first arrived . Dr. Watts could laugh and he always wanted to hear just one more story about my adorable aunts on my mother’s side who were well known for their interpretation of the Newfoundland language. He truly laughed from the bottom of his belly. His time in Cow Head during those last number of years were enjoyable ones and I know the people adored him, not just as a doctor, but for his compassionate and genuine concern for all his patients. Most communities have someone the whole community looks up to, and Dr. Watts was that person in Cow Head and surrounding areas. People will remember him with fondness. Remembering his kindness and gentleness will cushion the shock of his sudden passing. So long, my friend.

The sudden death of Dr Watts is a lose both personal and professional for me. Little did I realize in 1991 when I walked across the stage and shook his hand to receive my RN diploma that someday I would work side by side with him. He was a great coworker and support to me during some challenging times in my nursing career. He encouraged me to continue on and showed great appreciation for my work at a time when I didn’t feel appreciated. Most important though I will forever treasure him for years of care he provided to mom the last 20 years of her life and especially during her battle with cancer. He never questioned making a house call when he knew it was too hard for mom to visit him and for that I will be forever grateful. I only wish now that you,Dr Watts and mom are catching up on some journey you have taken since you last saw her. RIP my friend and coworker.

Dr. Watts loved his patients! He didn’t mind spending extra time to explain everything to us.
He said that when he was training to be a doctor he was told “Harold, you can’t just be a doctor, you have to be a teacher to your patients.” Thank you Dr. Watts for being a great teacher! He also said,“Hopefully on my headstone they will write-At Least He Cared.” We felt blessed with his kindness and love.
Our hearts are so sad to lose such a good friend and doctor. He was indeed a great doctor!
Hugs to you, Ada. I know you will miss him so much. He certainly was fond of you. He couldn’t say enough good things about you!
Hugs to all his patients and to all who were fortunate enough to work with him.
Peace and love to his family!
We loved you Dr. Watts!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

To the family and close friends of Dr. Watts
Dr. Watts was the CEO of Western Memorial Health Care Corpoation in 1992 when he hired me as the Director of Pastoral Care. My father in law, Clayton Noble worked there for years before my time too and often spoke highly of Dr. Watts.
He was such a down to earth person, knew all the staff by name and often sat at the table with first line health care workers and had coffee with us. He loved to tell stories of his first days in NL and experiences in the medical field.
We are so saddened to read of his passing. May you be encouraged to know, he served his generation first before caring about his own needs.

Harry Watts was the CEO/Medical Director in Corner Brook when I started my paediatric practice almost 26 years ago. He was a man with a warm heart and endeavoured to serve the best interests of patients and workers alike. He was not an “office administrator”, but held hands with all his employees and actively stood on the front line. He served as a true example of what it means to lead and, sadly, belongs to days long bygone. We cherish his memory.

To the family and friends of Harry:
I worked with Harry for years in Corner Brook - he was such a mentor and inspiration in health care management.
I saw him as we were both rushing through the airport in Deer Lake NL in mid-September and we hugged as I was saying "oh my God, Harry" and he was saying "How are ya my love". So sad to hear this news, but he died on the move and on the run.
Losing his life from humanity is a great loss.
Praying for peace and comfort.

When I was a child I had many throat infections and he would always tell me "if only we could take your throat out and cut it off, you would be all better" haha. He was an amazing doctor and a joy to see. Always had a great demeanor. You will surely be missed by the community of Cow Head.
