Not sure what to say?


I am from India . I worked
as student assistant in Wessels Library under Tom Watson. He recommended and encouraged me for my Masters in Library Science at the University of South Carolina.
My heartfelt condolence to his wife Gail,and sons.

I just learned of Tom's passing, so please excuse my tardiness in writing this message.

Tom was a dear colleague and friend of mine at Bridgewater State College, 1971-1973. I shall never forget his many kindnesses, insights, and support during that trying time. It was always a pleasure to talk to Tom - oh, that cheery wit! He was a true scholar, and how he loved Faulkner!

My deepest condolences to Gail and the boys.

To Mrs. Watson, I want so say how very sorry I am to hear of Mr. Watson's passing. He was always one of the nicest gentlemen whenever I was around him. I send prayers to you and your family.Sue Ellen Prince Woodward

Mrs. Watson.

I recently met Mr. Watson when inquiring about my family plot in the Univerity Cemetary. Mr. Watson shared some wonderful stories and told me of his journey to finding "The Mountain".

I am sad to learn of his passing in this life but I know he is sharing his beauty in another.

My Prayers to his family,

Patti Almond (Rogers)

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
