I am forever in debt to Walt, first for his medical expertise as well as his friendship. He is thought of constantly and sadly missed.

I am happy that I got to know Walt, for me, he was more than a friend but a life saver as well. He was able to make many people live and enjoy life.

Dr. Watkin was my husbands and my doctor for many years, he was so kind and understanding. He was so caring and kind to my husband [Jack} when he was so sick before he passed away. They liked to talk about fishing and camping. I'm going to miss him as my doctor and friend.
