Not sure what to say?

I interviewed Gardiner for my book, Extraordinary Centenarians in America and boy was he extraordinary. He truly inspired me to live life to the fullest! My deepest condolences to the family

Mr Watts was my teacher in high school
He instructed me on history which while I was in the army I was stationed in Williamsburg V.A.
It brought back memories of his tutoring me of the important things in history
Both he and his wife were wonderful friends
And are missed

Long after I'd left SHS and Suffern I could call "Sparky" and even past 100 he would recognize my voice. The lights were always on with Gardner. It's hard to grasp he is gone.

My deepest sympathies.May the God of all comfort strengthen the entire family during this time of sorrow. Always remember that God keeps in his memory those whom we lose because they are precious in his eyes (Psalms 116:15)

My condolences, may your days of sorrow be short, and your healing be with family and friends, Suffern High Alumni class 1960.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Gardner when I interviewed him for my book about centenarians. He was my first interview and I will always remember how smart and kind he was.

It was an honor and a privilege to have know Gardner Watts. He was a wonderful teacher with all the knowledge he passed on to his students. And the hikes were wonderful. I am not sure how we all kept up with him. He is back with his beautiful wife Josephine. She has been waiting for him.
