Not sure what to say?

Dear Amy,
I will always remember the years that you and Thom and Adam and I spent together in New York, and again so serendipitously in Shaker Heights, having our babies together.

Dear Amy and Family,
I was Chairperson of the Department when Thom first came to Kent State. I feel that I knew him well and respected him greatly for his intellect, charm, and knowledge of and love for the Russian language. Although I had not had contact with him since my retirement in 1993, I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. He was one of the most interesting and charming men I have ever met. Our sympathies and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Dear Mrs. Watts,

When I first came to Kent State, Thom was already a professor in the department. I have warm memories of knowing him and want to express my deep sorrow and condolences to you and your family.

Sincerely,
Sharon M. Bell

Thomas, I had a pleasure knowing you, and with your help I came to US 6 years ago, deep sorrow knowing that you are not with us anymore, know that you will be missed and remembered with great sympathy.

Although we never met Thomas in person, we spent long hours on the phone and exchanging e-mails. He was the best friend, most intelligent, caring, and funny person.
Thomas adored Amy, was very proud of Bradford and Jonathan, loved Becky and Ava. Our thoughts with the family.

Love, Tom and Susan Wagner

Jon, Becky, Ava, and the rest of the Watt's family and friends, I didn't know Mr. Watts, but if he was anything like his boys, I'm sure he'll be missed and remebered often. We're thinking about you guys.

With Love and Respect,
