“Our Knights of Columbus St. Mary’s Council 1470 remembers and prays for a faithful brother Knight, Honorary Life member and Sir Knight Douglas Wathen. Douglas’ dedication to his Catholic faith is noted from his days at Our Lady’s School in Medley’s Neck in the 1930s and from his service in the Knights of Columbus since 1961.”
“I knew Mr. Wathen all my life. He was truly a gentlemen and a dedicated Catholic. “
“HE WAS A REAL NICE PERSON AND I ENJOYED TALKING TO HIM. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.”
“Paul and Dotty,I am so sorry for you, I know how sad you are. But I know that You know that You Know…..where he is and the wonderful life he has entered into. We are left behind and are sad for his passing. “When we all get together what a wonderful reunion it will be. We are with you in thought and prayers. Love you, EV PS Marlaine sends her love too…… “
“I remember Mr.Wathen,”Douglas” as he always insisted I call him, when I was a teenager and young adult. He lived very near our store in Hollywood and he was there daily. He was always kind, friendly and soft spoken. Though I haven’t seen him in several years, the impression he made on me, lives on within. May his soul rest in peace and the kindness of his heart live on. “
” To the Family; So sorry for your loss but Douglas is now at peace my prayers are with all of you.”
“Mr. Wathen delivered home delivered meals for the Office On Aging when I worked there. He was very dedicated to helping those who needed the meals.”
