I wish I could find the words to say how much Mr Watson meant to my brother and I as kids. The kindness and calmness he exuded to his family was also shared with many youngsters who definitely needed it. From passing ball with all of us, many games of Stratego, teaching me about the automatic recording levels on a cassette deck to all the late night games of flashlight tag. These lessons shaped how I treat my children's friends and the kids in our neighborhood. We play flashlight tag with our neighbors every summer and I always hide in our wood pile and think of Jim as it was his spot. I wish I was able to be there today. Mrs. Watson, Rick, Roger, Joy, Erin and Courtney, I am so sorry for your loss. He was a heck of a guy. May the Lord bless you all with comfort. RIP
Jim will be missed. He had a kind, calm, gentle personality but also was a little ornery and liked to make jokes. He didn't drink or do drugs and didnt have a bad temper. He liked reading books and watching TV. He loved my mom and treated her very well. I grew up in a calm, quiet, loving household. Growing up he took our family on vacations to the beach and to the mountains where we made lasting memories. If i had questions about working on cars or motorcycles he was always willing to help and he had a lot of tools that he let me use. He was a pleasant person to live with and made my teenage years comfortable. I think he helped shape my personality of being calm and quiet and loving to my partner. I will always remember him and the comfortable life he gave our family. Miss you and love you Jim. Rest in peace.
Love to Kathy and family. We will miss Jim's smile and welcoming heart. We really appreciate his love for Mollie.
