Watson C. Arnold Sr.

I am saddened to hear of Arnold's passing. He was a dear and loyal friend and supporter of the Museum Complex. He was always a joy to be around and my association with him brings back many fond memories. We will be praying for the family and their comfort in knowing how much he will be so positively remembered by so many.

I am so sad to hear of Watson's passing. Watson gave me my first job at the Highway Division of the Attorney General's Office back in February of 1984. In the years I worked for Watson he was my mentor and my friend.

He saw every task as an opportunity and invested all with his confidence. ...

Robert, Gary and I (and the rest of the group at Berhinger Harvard) express our sympathies to Pat, Henry and Watson and the rest of the Arnold family on the loss of their father.

Watson gave me a wealth of training, mostly by example, and a welter of fond memories. Watson's notable qualities that stand out in memory were his impeccable gentleman's demeanor, his...

There are so many memories of Watson C. Arnold that I cannot begin to post them on this website, but I will share my thoughts of a great man and true friend. I began working for Mr. Arnold at the Attorney General's Office in 1964 and continued working for him as his secretary until I had an opportunity to go to work for the Texas Senate in 1970. He was supportive of all my career decisions, including my later decision to enter the real estate profession. Our friendship has endured for 41...
