Not sure what to say?

Dear Friend Bob,
You were a reminder of the good in people! Your simple smile and gusty hellos, gave me a boost during my darker days down in the Barrio. It was amazing how you seemed to pop up at the times I needed a smile the most! Kaleidoscope and the Bugle American articles added a spring in my step and made many of us light up with hope. It just wasn't a happening without you there. I just learned of your passing and know the world is poorer without you, OLDE FRIEND!

Farewell, my friend--we were all to hung up for you to have to deal with. I know there are many kindred souls on the other side who will be more than happy to cavort with you--and they will leave their suspenders at the door! Au revoir!!

Martha Evans

I liked Bob Watt for his open-ended obsessions that took so many manifestations, and will miss his presence.

The world is a darker place without Mr Watt's luminescence.He will surly light up where ever he now abodes!
PEACE,
Cls

I remember as a child, Uncle Bob coming to visit our home for Thanksgiving dinner and how his sisters hovered over him, giving him a haircut, a new sweater, even a word of advice; they tried so very hard to fix him. Uncle Bob took it all in very graciously never changing even one tiny bit to fit others expectations of him. He certainly lived life his own way and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Here's to you Uncle Bob, to a life well lived.

Uncle Bob, hope your next adventure is everything you want it to be.

A lot of color is about to hit the heavens....you go Bob...

In 1965 at age 17 I was a regular at the Brat Haus which was the coffee house Bob owned. I have great memories of the music, the poetry and the people who frequented his establishment with names like "Polish George," "Moby Dick" and of course Bob who was always present to make sure everyone was having a good time. After the Brat Haus closed, I'd still run into Bob around the city at art shows and rummage or estate sales. He was a kind-hearted, unique individual who will not be forgotten.
