My condolences to Maggie and the rest of the Watson Family. I worked with Bob to install solar on his Strongsville home. Although I no longer work in the industry, he was such a delight to work with, to the point where I raved about his character and demeanor to my colleagues enough, that one of them sent me this sad information once they found out, even all these years later - which is a testament to his long-reaching legacy. He was one of the most calmest, calculated, and patient people I...

Margaret, I am sorry about the passing of your husband. I can't believe it has been this long since we last talked. Probably when I was a student at UVA. I am still living at Virginia Beach.

The Watson family were our first friends in Munising Michigan. We met them camping and helped them build their cabin in fish lake. They are the most friendly family and we enjoyed our summers with them. They will be missed.

He was one of my favorite professors during my time as a student at Hiram, always holding us to the highest standards. We all wanted to do our best for him because he as empathetic as he was dedicated to the best scholarship.

I admired and respected Dr. Watson when he was my professor at Hiram College. He embodied all the ethical and spiritual standards he taught. He expected quality from his students but coaxed it out of us in the kindest way. Because of his example of hard work and respect for his subject and students, none of use wanted to disappoint him. My deepest condolences to his family
