"Big" Mike Watson was one of our dearest friends and though gone will never be forgotten, he loved his family and grandchildren!

Lost my best friend and my running buddy. Went to many garage sales and estates sales. Also willing to help and me help him with anything. I will think of him every time I am working on cars and anything. You could not ask for a better friend. Loved to keep his yard mowed and all the sticks pick up. Always will think of him when I work in the yard.
