WATERMAN, KEVIN GERALD
July 22, 1952 - December 29, 2013
The world has lost a kind and gentle human being, Kevin Waterman of Gander, who had been dealing with several health issues for three years. Kevin is predeceased by his parents Gertie and Fred; sister, Margaret Rose; brother, Elmo; nephew, Kristofer Waterman; brothers-in-law, Ronnie Cull, Robert McClean, and Joseph Finch; sisters-in-law Hazel Waterman and Geraldine Waterman. Left to honor his memory are his wife and best friend of 38 years, Paula; his much loved and cherished daughter, Jillian; parents-in-law Walter and Helena Cull; brothers, Angus, Wayne (Margrit), and Dennis (Betty); sisters, Marion Evans (Angus), Maxine McClean, Jean Finch, and Deanna Smith (Bill); brothers-in-law Barry Cull (Barbara) and Dwayne Cull (Barbara); special sister-in-law Deneen Cull (Corrie Davis, Claire); and many close and caring friends from Gander, and also from across the province and the rest of Canada, who have provided support on so many levels during this difficult journey. Kevin also leaves behind a large extended circle of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, former colleagues, fellow Rotarians, and his devoted canine companion, Molly. Anyone who knew Kevin knew that he embraced all aspects of life fully, until ill health curtailed this. However, even this he accepted with his usual equanimity and sense of humor. His greatest passion was his love for family, followed by: sports, especially hockey, which he played twice weekly until 2 years ago, and his beloved Maple Leafs; travel (having visited 16 countries); the outdoors; and his hobby of photography. Kevin's career in municipal recreation spanned 37 years, beginning in Botwood before being employed for 30 years by the town of Gander. Wherever he travelled, he was a proud ambassador for his adopted community of Gander. He was a mentor to the many students employed to run Gander's summer recreation programs, and will be remembered by them for his positive outlook, creativity, and integrity. He also volunteered extensively on various committees at both the provincial and national levels, receiving many awards and accolades. He has been recognized by his peers as a "truly passionate, dedicated and sincere recreation leader". Kevin has been cremated, as was his wish. A funeral service to celebrate a life well-lived was held at Fraser Road United Church on January 2, 2014. Internment will be at a later date. Donations in Kevin's memory will be gratefully accepted for Gander Special Olympics and Gander S.P.C.A., or a charity of ones' choice. Arrangements entrusted to Stacey's funeral home.
