I remember Dr. Watson from way back when he was practicing in the Lakeside area of Richmond. He was a wonderful person, doctor and friend. We wish you hope in the Resurrection.

I owe so much to this man. He helped me in so many ways and taught me so much. He was a gentleman to everyone and cared for all of his patients and their families. He was kind, generous, God fearing, hard working and cared very much for his family. My whole life was changed when I came to work for him and later became his friend. I will miss you much, Dr. Watson. Bonnie Roach
