Widowed by his beloved Wife Dr. Shirley Beverley Watkins whom have been married for 55 wonderful years.

Lovingly admired and respected father of Hugh and his wife Stacy of Whitby; Ryan and his wife Sherry of Toronto; Alexia of Cambridge; Debbie of Toronto; Michael of Toronto; and Audrey and her husband Erol of Brampton. Grandfather of Chantel, Azalaya, Kyle, Weston, Roman, Kayla, and Chandler, and additional granddaughters (twins of daughter Debbie) and grandsons (of son Michael).

Beloved brother of predeceased Kenneth Brooks; predeceased Merris Icilda (Sissy) Watkins-Webb; and loving sister Mutilda (Mutie) Watkins; Beloved brother-inlaw of Daisy and her husband Vernon of Rexdale; and many nieces and nephews.

Also, a spiritual father and mentor to so many, too numerous to mention here, yet you all know who you are. Prince was a known to be “a Man’s man”; his presence commanded attention at every type of gathering. Dear Dad; for so many you represent, ‘a man of success’ – who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of intelligent men and women and the love of children; you have filled your niche and accomplished your task.

You have left the world better than you found it, you never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it. You looked for the best and expected the best in others and you yourself gave the best you had.
