Obituary
WATT, Randi…
It is with immense sadness that we mourn the unexpected passing of Randi Watt, born to Mary Lou Watt and Gordon Watt of Parry Sound, ON. Proud Father to Jason, Shannon and Shaundelee (Patrick), grandfather to Stormaisha, Darius, Paton, Madison, and Emerson, and former husband of Anne. Randi is survived by his brother Cori and predeceased by his brothers Kim and Jami. Randi grew up in Parry Sound, and spent his childhood working with his father at Sound Boat Marinas. This is where he developed his love for water. Randi later became a part of the Canadian Coast Guard where he served on many boats in different capacities as a Chief Marine Mechanic. Randi loved anything that involved water, trains, music, and his family was his pride and joy. He wanted the very best life he had to offer for them. Randi’s second family was equally important, and nearly 35 years of his life was spent dedicating his passions to the Boys’ and Girls’ Club of London. It was there, he met an unlikely lifetime friend and was able to show his ability, passion and love for helping the less fortunate, elderly and disabled. Don, you were more than a mentor – you were a friend and family support. You guided him through the trenches and mentored him. He respected, valued and loved you as a family member, so we thank you, Randi thanks you. We are remembering Randi as a loving father, grandfather and friend. In our heart’s you will remain forever, until we meet again. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, December 28, 2021 at 11 am at the A.

Randi was such an important part of the Boys and Girls Club of London for many years. His knowledge and his great sense of humour made him the heart and soul of the Club. We will truly miss him. The place won’t be the same without him. My condolences to the family.
I thank you for being a great portion of the Parry Sound connection . Many fond memories here. Sadly distance and lifestyle changes caused less commodery but you were always on my mind when silly memories popped up. May u rest in peace good friend. Love always. ABE
On behalf of myself and the Advisory Committee of the Horton Street Seniors Centre, we send condolences and our deepest sympathy to the family of Randi Watt. Randi was such an integral part of the Boys & Girls Club and Horton Street Seniors, it is difficult to comprehend how we will carry on — but in his memory we will do so. His wit, enormous generosity (in both time and spirit), his wonderful sense of humor and fun will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace our Dear Friend.
Randi, you were truly one in a million. Knowing you for the last fourteen years has been a blessing. Watching you take so much pleasure in helping everyone around you, making us laugh, and lending your ear during times of trouble was evidence of what a big heart you had. The pride and love you had for your children and grandchildren was known to all. The thought of coming to work tomorrow and you not being there just doesn’t seem right. You will be missed, but also honored, as we will all try to bring a little of your kindness, and your humor to the workplace that you were such a big part of. Deepest condolences to your family.
I met Randi over 30 years ago through Don Donner. He lived in the apartment behind our restaurant for years and helped me take care of the building. We also worked together at the Club. Randi could fix anything and had a wonderful friendly way of getting things done. He was a friend, colleague and good guy and will be missed by many people. Heartfelt condolences to the family.
The Gillespie family sends their thoughts, love, and prayers to Randi’s loved ones and family. We smiled as we shared memories today of his bigger than life spirit and kind heart. May your minds be comforted by happy warm memories and may your hearts and lives be filled with love from heaven and earth.
I was sorry to hear the sad news of Randi’s passing from his son, Jason. I had been Randi’s barber for many years. He had a deep seated fear of having his hair cut (he was not alone in this this; I know quite a few), yet he trusted me in spite of his fear, and I was honoured. He never failed to give me a big hug when the ordeal was over! He also never failed to telephone me the day after our visits to thank me and tell me how good he felt about himself with his new hair cut. He was proud of his family and spoke of them often. He was also a fellow Star Trek fan, and interested in science fiction and space exploration, all of which provided fuel for our long conversations.
Randi was one of a kind and I will miss him, our visits, his hugs, and our talks. Live long and prosper, my friend. Say hi to Mr. Spock and I’ll see you on the other side.
