I would like to thank Dr. Watson for being so kind to my mother, Laura Geneva DuBose, and delivering myself and my three sisters, Laura, Debbie and Angie Walker. Also for delivering two of my daughters, Christie and Kayla, and taking care of my wife. Always a gentleman and always a supporter of the community. I am confident for all you have done, that you will see my mother and father in heaven, since they have gone there recently; as well. We the children of this family are very proud to be Dr. Watson babies. I am sorry for the loss of a loved one, I am personally familiar with the same feelings. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rarely in life do we get to know someone special enough to touch more than just their patients, but an entire community. Dr Watson was one of those people. Thank you to all his family who shared Dr Watson with the entire Augusta community. We have all been blessed to have such a great example of a man and MD. May your whole family rest in the knowledge that although he will be missed, his legacy will live on through his great work and the many many lives he touched.

I was lucky enough to be one of Dr. Wastson's babies (1956)and patient until I had to have surgery and he didn't do that any more. He always took time to ask at every appointment "How's the family suga".
He will be missed but not forgotten.

Dr.Watson was loved by so many and will be dearly missed. Thank you for sharing him with us. I met Dr. Watson when I was a a student at University Hospital Lamar School of Nursing. I knew after working with him he was going to be my Obsterics/Gynecology doctor.I had four childern who were all deliverd by Dr. Watson. Twice when I went to the hospital I was told he was not on duty, but he came back and delivered my children. My fourth child made the newspaper as being th largest baby born at University Hospital "BABY BOOM", weight 10lbs. Dr. Watson was concerned about his patients and their family.I lost not only a doctor but also a friend. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May the Lord sustain you during these pain filled days of grief and shower you with grace upon grace.

My prayers and thoughts are with the Watson family. He will be a very missed man. Dr Watson delievered my mom, dad, brother, and myself. I was a also a patient of his until I decided to have children and then starting going to Dr George Williams. When my first daughter was born Dr Williams let him know that I had Taylor and Dr Watson came to see me the very next morning. Now Heaven has another wonderful angel. Rest in peace Dr Watson.

So sorry to hear of Curly's passing! He delivered me and my siblings, and I believe my mother and uncle too. My grandparents (Bob and Irma Smith) lived next door to Curly and Miss Audrey, and they were always so kind to us. They let us jump on their trampoline, and Miss Audrey pierced my ears when I was a little girl! Rest in peace, Curly, and God's blessings to Miss Audrey and the rest of your family.

Dr. Watson will never be forgotten. I remember my mother telling me that when she was pregnant with my brother, she was waiting to see Dr. Watson and saw Mrs. Watson sitting in the waiting room one day. While they were talking, she told my Mom that sometimes the only way she could see him was by coming to the office! He delivered not only my brother (born in 1952) but also my two children who are now in their 40s. His legacy will live on for decades, maybe forever! Our prayers are with all of the family at this sad time. May God bless you.

Dr. Watson was a wonderful, inspirational doctor and human being. I was the first baby he delivered for my family; many followed, including my own daughter. I will never forget his gentle, warm kindness and the wonderful care he took of our family. Our mother was his patient for well over fifty years; he came by her room to check on her when she was in the hospital for spinal surgery. Rest in peace Dr. Watson, you are remembered fondly and loved by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this time of sadness. Thank you for sharing this very unique individual with the rest of us.

October 25, 2012
Dr Watson delivered my daughter 21 years ago and made a home visit soon afterwards. He would ask about my family each dr visit and I would show him pictures of Kathleen as she grew up. I too, feel like I lost part of my Father when he passed away. What a great man. He always put God first, his family second, and his job third. And people wonder why he lived so long...to leave us examples of how we all should live in this world. God bless you, Dr Watson and rest in peace.

Mrs. Watson and family - I am truly saddened to learn of Dr. Watson's passing. For years while working at University Hospital, I enjoyed passing him in the hallway daily and speaking with him. What a truly wonderful life he had with a wonderful family to go with it! North Augusta is such a blessed town to have had Dr. Watson a citizen. Know that you all are in my prayers.

To the Watson family - my heart is saddened to hear of the loss of Dr. Watson. He delivered my twins many years ago and what a fine Christian servant and doctor. Prayers are with you.
My last appointment with Dr. Watson, June 2010
October 25, 2012
It's very difficult to put into a few short words just what Dr. Watson meant to me. He became my doctor when I was 15 years old and continued caring for me until he retired (over 35 years). He delivered my second child when he was 80 and operated on me when he was 88. He was just as spry then as he was when I began going to him in 1976. When God called him home, it was like another piece of my Daddy left with him. Men just aren't made anymore the way my Daddy and Dr. Watson were made.
Family - I can only imagine how your hearts are breaking, but please find comfort in knowing that he was one of the BEST men this world has even known. In his own words, "God, family, and work". Somehow he balanced them all.

As a nurse I worked with Dr. Watson and deeply admired his professionalism and values. He delivered our wonderful daughter 40 years ago. A few days after we arrived home Dr. Watson came for a visit to check on us. He was a very caring man with very strong family values. David played football for North Augusta and fondly remembers the milkshake tickets. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
