Not sure what to say?

I was Dr. Watsons LVT at his Hampton Hospital. Im so sorry to hear of his passing . I have many fond memories working with him . We worked together during the first outbreak of Parvo. He was dedicated to saving his patients . My condolences Debra and his children

DR. Watson would be one of the many new people I would come to know after settling in VA from GA in the early 70's. I had two cats and his Vet office is where I took them. He always was glad to see me, put me at ease and help me do the right thing when it came to my pets. When he relocated off Pembroke Ave to Aberdeen Road, I moved right with him until the very day he retired. He was a genuine good man. When you had to face the truth about your pets he did not mess around and even let you...

"Doc" was one of my closest friends for years. I enjoyed countless hours playing Gin with him and the rest of the gang. He was kind to a fault; truly a great man. My sincere condolences. Pete Paine

Condolences to Debra, family,and close friends. I've known Billy for several years having played tennis with him at the Hilton tennis club, usually on the losing side. Doc was a kind and pleasant person who went out his way to help anyone who asked. As an example, onThanksgiving day, light years ago, my beagle Patches was hit by a car while I was visiting my parents in Hidenwood. We called him for assistance and met him at his clinic on Aberdeen Rd. Alas, my beagle had passed and Billy took...

Billy Goat was always so very kind to me (and my animals!). He had a big heart and will be terribly missed. Sending my love and prayers to Debbie, Lynn, Bill, John, Lanie and all who loved him. xo

Fare thee well, Doc, m'lad !

Thanks for all that you accomplished whilst here for all of us family, friends, most especially the furry ones.

Billy was always my closest and favorite first cousin. We grew up together in Hampton. I have so many special memories from those days. We were next door neighbors and our backyard was the neighborhood gathering place. My only regret is I that I could never ever beat him at any game,

My condolences to all family and friends. I worked for Doc many many years ago and he was the best veterinarian I have ever known. When folks brought their animals into the clinic they got the best care ever and they gained a friend. He taught all of his employees how to care for the animals properly and made sure that we did exactly as instructed. He taught us with kindness, we were a bunch of rowdy kids working first jobs and he probably gave us more slack than we deserved.
RIP Doc,...
