Howard E. Watson

Howard E. Watson, 92, of Cascade passed away on August 27, 2022 surrounded by his loving family. Cremation has been entrusted to Croxford Funeral Home.

Howard was born on March 30, 1930 in Lady Smith, WI, to Earl and Helen (Letson) Watson. He grew up in Wisconsin before joining The United States Air Force and proudly serving his country. Upon his return he worked as a mechanic for Hansen Implements and Navistar. He could always find time for his passions; hunting, ice fishing and reading a good book.

Fate stepped in and Howard met the love of his life on an Alaskan Cruise, Louise Watkins, and the two were wed on September 20, 1991. They would remain together until Howard’s passing.

Howard will be missed by all but especially his wife, Louise Watson; sons, Howard (Kim) Watson Jr., Arthur (Janice) Watson, and David (Sharon) Watson; sisters-in-law, Janet Searight, and Irene Life; brother-in-law, Roger Watkins; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He now goes on to join his father, Earl A. Watson; mother, Helen Fay Watson; children, John Watson, and Robin Watson; brothers, Russ Watson, and Delos Watson; sister, Delores Endlcott.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation be made to the Dearborn Fire Department.
