Not sure what to say?

Tom was truly a devoted teacher who cared a great deal about young people. He was a blessing.

I love Sunny and will miss him so much. Along with being a wonderful brother to me, he started my singing career by having me join his band, Sunny and the Tradesmen and we became closer in our adult years. I loved his ‘Sunny’ jokes, his laugh, his smile, and am missing these and him. Rest in peace, Sunny. You are loved.

Thank you for your lifetime of giving, Sunny, from your military service to your teaching our youth to learn and grow.
Keeping the Watson family in our prayers and sending much love,

Sonny was a great man. I remember well when he went into the Army. His service during the Vietnam War insured that many men and women were able to return home. He was a hero in my book. And a pretty good south paw pitcher. He was my cousin, my friend, at times a mentor, and my brother. I pray for Georgia and the family. Rest in peace my friend. May perpetual Light shine upon you. May your soul and all the of the faithfully departed rest in peace. Wish I could be there. Semper Fi.

Tom was a wonderful Principal serving Nativity Academy at St Boniface. I enjoyed working for him.

Sonny tutored my son Justin when he was in middle school. His knowledge, his teaching methods and his heart made it possible for Justin to enter the advanced program, get a scholarship to IU and today is a top IT person for Zoom Video in LA. Justin and I will never forget how Sonny made a major difference in Justin’s life. He will never be forgotten
