Watson, Lewis Edward “Eddie”

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Lewis (Eddie) Edward Watson on Saturday, May 8, 2021 at St. Joseph’s Hospital. He was the beloved husband of 42 years to Lynn Watson (Meilko). The much loved father to Mark, Thomas and Leanne (Adam). Cherished Papa to Hudson and Hayden. Predeceased by his father John Watson. Devoted son to Ruth Watson. Sorrowfully missed by his best friend and brother Phil Watson, sister-in-law Diana and their three children, John, James and Jasmine. Eddie will be lovingly remembered by sister-in-law Judy and husband Jim Gallagher and sister-in-law Karen Meilko. He will always remain in the hearts of many nieces, nephews, great-nephews and cousins. After 60 years of living in Dundas it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t have a great memory of him. Eddie always jumped at the opportunity for community involvement. He coached baseball, soccer, basketball and even participated in competitive dance competitions with the other parents. Some of Eddie’s passions included organizing and playing in “The HAFA Big One” golf tournament, High Rollers/HAFA softball and winning O.F.S.S.A. basketball for Parkside High School in 1975. He worked at M&A Candy, Chubb Securities and Bell Canada. His main passion was to bring back life to the Hamilton Air Force Club where he held presidency from 2016 to present. The Hamilton Air Force Club was ultimately a place for him and his friends, who meant so much to him, to socialize. A private family Service will take place on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family would welcome donations to the Hamilton Air Force Club at 128 King Street East, Dundas ON L9H 1N5.

Butty, Julius


May 15, 1959 – April 22, 2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Julius Butty, at Hamilton General Hospital Intensive Care Unit on April 22, 2021. The family extends its gratitude and appreciation to the 3rd floor South ICU doctors and nurses for their exceptional care. A huge thank you goes out to family and friends for their support and love during this difficult time.
Julius was born on May 15, 1959 in Hamilton, Ontario into a closely-knit Hungarian family. Julius was predeceased by his parents, Leslie (2001) and Anna (2005) and by his brother, John (Alexandra) in 2020.


He will be dearly missed by his beloved partner, Ruth, his sisters Eta (George) and Mary, and his brothers Leslie (Debbie) George (Eva) and Frank (Marg).


He was much-loved uncle to Anthony, (Claudia), Stephen and Nicholas, Brianna (James) Alicia (Peter) Alexis (Josh) Cierra (Matt), William, Andrew and Nick. He was Stepfather to Madi (Derek) and Jackie and Papa Julius to grandchildren, Kingston and Laughlin.
Julius was born and lived in Hamilton and received a P.Eng. (1983) and an M.B.A. (1991) from McMaster University. In 1988, he joined the staff of G.L. Tiley &Associates and never looked back. As Managing Director, he helped expand the company which now provides engineering services to mining and mining consultant companies in Canada, USA, South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.


Julius was a man of many talents and interests. He relished the times he spent with his brother, George, racing their corvette at local racetracks and mountain biking Hamilton trails. Julius enjoyed international travel for business and pleasure and loved all the performing arts. He spent many hours with Jackie, helping with her horses and enjoyed pool time with Madi and grandchildren. If something was broken, you could always count on Julius to fix it. He was an amazing handyman – he could repair or maintain anything.


Julius was loved by all who knew him. His cheery smile, wit, twinkling eyes and love of gab enriched our lives – he will live on in our hearts, always.


Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, sympathy may be expressed through memorial donation to the Hamilton General Hospital 3rd floor south ICU and would be greatly appreciated. Please send a cheque payable to Eva Butty, Post Office Box 81176 Fiddlers Green, Ancaster ON L9G 4X2.

She fought cancer at just the age of 14, had one lung that was deflated, had her spleen removed in 2020, diagnosed with breast cancer at 30, battled infections everywhere and blood clots on her lungs. She was even visiting the hospitals three times a week for blood transfusions and many tests.


On April 8th, 2021 she had her gallbladder removed and was sent home the next day. Overnight blood clots had travelled up to her upper lungs and blocked her airway which led to her passing away Saturday April 10th. Charmaine fought a long hard battle her whole life and always puts everyone else’s needs before hers even when she was at her lowest.


Charmaine now joins her dad and nana in heaven with no more suffering. Her memories will never be forgotten, and she will always be with us. We love you so much Mom and we will miss you every second of the day. May you rest in piece our beautiful angel you have now gained your wings…
