Vancouver, British Columbia
Alex HOWATSON passed away in Vancouver, British Columbia. The obituary was featured in The Vancouver Sun on January 7, 2012.
I was lucky enough to meet and work with Alex during his time with BC Hydro. He was always there to help and his quick wit was refreshing. I will always remember his Stove Phone. He was always fixing or building something.
My condolences to his family

I met and got to know Alex at UBC about 1965. Later we worked together at BC Hydro for many years until his retirement. Alex was always a reference as the guy who knew how everything worked and how to fix it and always had a wry comment about the state of the world.
Our sincere condolences to Nancy and fmaily.

Jack and I were very sad to hear of Alex's illness and passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his devoted wife, Nancy and his children, Darren and Audrey and their families. We knew the Howatson family through Jack's sister Maureen and her husband Tom Becher, who lived next door on Devonshire Crescent. Our children were young and they all played together in the back lane. When we opened a Montessori school on Oak Street in 1986, the back lane again became our meeting place.....Alex...

" Alex and Nancy were my Real Estate Clients as I was Selling his Family home on Keith Road in North Vancouver.
They both worked very hard in the garden to keep the big property looking good.
It took a while to sell and in the end I saw his energy dwindle. He tried to subdivide the properety for the benefit of the estate. It was a long and involved process.We finally Sold the property and it was at this time his health took a turn for the worse.

Alex is our next door neighbor of his apartment on Beach Ave. Due to our family's infrequent stay at our place, Alex has always been most helpful in keeping a watchful eye on our apartment. We shall miss him.

Margaret and I were shocked to read of Alex's passing. I met Alex as a work 'mate' in Sydney at EMI when we were both in our early 20's, visiting each other several times over the past 45 years. He has been a good friend for so long. Our sincere condolences to Nancy, Darren and Audrey.
