Freddie Watson

Dearest Aunt Carol, Merv and I would like to send you our deepest condolences during this time. Such a wonderful man to be gone so soon. He will truly be missed.

Love and prayers,
Docia & Merv

It was both a pleasure and a privilege to have had the opportunity to work with Fred at ExxonMobil. He was a true expert and a tireless mentor to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

I wish to express my condolences to Carol and the family. I've known Fred through COPAS for a number of years. He's experience in expertise were invaluable to COPAS and our industry as he did a lot of the heavy lifting for the Revenue Committee's publications.

He was a fine man always considerate of others and unselfishly mentoring others.

Rest in Peace Fred Watson

I was sad to hear about Fred's passing. We were co-workers at Exxon and ExxonMobil for over 30 years and worked together on various projects over that time period. He was an intelligent, knowledgeable, and considerate team member. It was always a pleasure working with Fred because he worked tirelessly to resolve issues while maintaining an optimistic outlook and never letting frustration and setbacks deter him from reaching his goals. He was respected by all he met. My condolences on the loss of a good and kind human being.

Fred's service to the COPAS oil and gas accounting community will be greatly missed, but we will always fondly remember his generosity in sharing his knowledge and time with us. Rest in peace, Fred.

May the Lord rest Freddie's soul - I knew Freddie when he joined COPAS and we both grew up together in the Revenue Committee working on projects - he was a kind person and passionate about his work. I will miss seeing him at meetings.

I met Fred through the COPAS National meetings. Even though he was retired, Fred continued to volunteer his time and talents to COPAS. I am so saddened by the passing of such a wonderful gentleman.

My prayers and condolences are with his family.
