Not sure what to say?

Great Uncle Bill, to me, is in my deep memory when all the Fogarty/Watson family picnics were held. My first, second, and third cousins we so much fun and we all would see the pillars of our family. Bill, Frank, and Mary had such an impact on me in my "big, fat, Irish family". I loved them as they loved me, without reservation. My great uncles and my grandmother were fabulous people who loved us all...."Uncle Bill" will surely hold a place in my heart.

My mother had a special relationship with Bill and your mom. Bill always called my mom Peg because our grandfather sang Peg of my Heart to her. They had a devotion to one another that lasted until Dec 20 2003.
May we all work toward that level of love. God bless your family in time of loss. Faith, love and humility the cornerstone of the family.
Love you all,
Mary Beth Fogarty Annes

Dear Watson Family,

Our deepest sympathies to all of you. Your Dad (and Mom)were great people and so much fun. Bill lived a great life and we now know he is at peace with Marge, Frank Clegg, and Phil Carey. May the Lord hold all of you a little closer today and always.

We are friends of Anne & Mike and have met most of the Watson / Connor family through the years. Bill was always friendly and easygoing, and our whole family enjoyed visiting with "Grandpa Watson". Bill led a long, full life and while we know he will be missed, his loving memory and wit will never be forgotten. Ron & Carolyn Vallort

Our deepest Sympathy to Rita, Mike, Carrie, Sharon and Michael. Mr Watson was a special man and is now in Heaven with his Beloved Wife.

Our deepest sympathies to Bob and Mary on the sad loss of Mary's dear father. We will keep him in our prayers.

Dear Members of the Watson Family,
Bill's passing marks the closing of one of the "arliest memories of my childhood as I was sent to "Watson's" almost daily with a note to buy the meat for our evening meal. This was more than 60 years ago, and I had to endure Frank's teasing while barely being able to reach over the counter to hand the "note" to Bill. Usually, "a very generous pound and a half of hamburger" could feed our family of 4,5,or 6 and finally 7 kids plus mom and dad. I can...
