FOR the first time in 37 years, Winston Watson Jr will not be able to celebrate Father’s Day with his dad, not because his father passed but because the elder Watson has been missing for more than a month, with efforts to locate him yielding no results.
Reports from the Ramble police in Hanover are that Winston Watson Sr, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2018, went missing on May 19. The 78-year-old was reportedly last seen at his home in Lethe District in the parish at about 5 pm, wearing a black muscle T-shirt, black shorts, and white Crocs. He is of dark complexion, slim build, and six feet two inches in height.
Watson Jr said his father was tending to his farm near his home — something he practised regularly despite his dementia — when he went missing. He said his stepmother Vernica Watson, upon not seeing her husband return from the fields at his usual time, went in search of him.
