My sympathy and prayers go out to the family. Watts was a good man. He never met anyone that he couldn't strike up a conversation with. Fun loving, and never taking things too seriously. He will be missed by many.
Betty & Kim
I'm sorry to hear about Watts passing away. When he would come in Kroger he would have me paged to say hello. I enjoyed talking with him. I will miss him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
