Watt was an avid fisherman and outdoorsman, He loved being in the boat catching red fish with his beloved wife, Donna. He loved to BBQ while spending time with his family and friends and relished telling stories with a cold beer in his hand. He never met a stranger and brought joy and laughter to everyone he met. Everyone knew the “Whopper”. Many who knew him were well versed in “Watt’s Words of Wisdom”.

He was with the Porche Motor Company for 20 years, first as a salesman and then as a body shop manager. After his departure from the auto industry, he began a second career as an insurance adjuster until retirement.

The family would like to thank Terrebonne General, Heritage Manor and St. Catherine’s Hospice for their care and compassion. Watt will be dearly missed by all those who had the honor to know and love him.

In loving Memory, “Maybe Just One More”!
