Not sure what to say?

RIP my friend. My tire man.

So sorry to learn of the passing of
Chief Watson. Such a kind, thoughtful and generous soul who also was about doing great work.
He will always be remembered and missed. Sending blessings to the family.

Prayers to the family

One heck of a man. Rest In Power my friend.

May God bless you in your time of Loss, Beverly Outler

He was a man that shared his wisdom and friendship to all. He inspired numerous things in me from being in his presence i.e., family importance and work ethic. He will be missed. My families’ condolences go out to the Watson Family. Just remember that he is not in any more pain and in a much better place.

He was a great man, father, teacher at the shop and helped all his friends out and served the City of Savannah well.... CHIEF

I liked and respected James the entirety of our careers. Away from the fire department he kept my sketchy vehicles running. I could always depend on him to help me out. I will miss his smile and his laugh. Always one of the good guys in my book. Rest in peace brother. Condolences to his family.
