Farewell old Friend

Jim, you brought me into the music world. Without your invitation back in 1962, I never would have had the pleasure of playing with you and Dave Spadafora. That was a time I will never forget. Thank you.

To everyone that gave there support this past week to me THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You all know who you are and you also know how much I love Jim and how deeply I will miss him.

Jimmy was always so much fun to be around. He was a delightful character who will be very missed by all that knew him. My hearfelt condolences go out to his family.

Peace, Jimmy.

Jimmy was one in a million with always a kind word and warm smile. I know that he and willy are in a better place playing their music and jamming in peace. I will miss him and always be comforted in knowing they are both together now and no suffering there. Kelly and Ruth...my heart is with you and always know you did all that God would allow for...now its his turn. Have faith. Love you both.

I was told today of Jim's passing and I am deeply saddenened. The Jimmie Watts I know and remember was a joy to be around. For those of us who spent time with him, we were truly blessed.

jim was a true friend he will be missed.

Jim, you were a good friend, and I'll miss ya.

I've always thought that, should I return to Auburn to visit in the forseeable future, Jim would be one of the first people I'd look up. I have so many memories of us at each others' gigs, and the great times we spent together at his recording studio making some of the best music of my time in CNY. Old friend, you're in my heart & in my prayers. God Speed & good Fortune!
