Winston C. "Bud" Watson

It's been 15 years without you Dad...We miss you still, every day. You would be so proud of your Grandsons and Grandchildren. Until we meet again........we love you

Always and forever my hero.....

Dad... you´ve been gone 14 years as of today. We miss you so much. You have an adorable sweet great grandson now. He´s so smart, I think he´s going to be an engineer. But he´s only 7. We´ll see. Elise is a senior and making college inquiries. She wants to be a nurse practitioner. But I digress. I believe you already know this from your heavenly perch. Grandma is watching with you. We all love you and miss you both every day. Janice.

Dear Dad
It has been one year since you passed and we all miss you so much. We are all being very good stewards of the legacy that you left with us. You would be very proud of the things we have done to preserve what you worked all of your life to create. We have a small business in your name and it is doing well. You have given us all a chance at a better life by instilling your unwavering worth ethic into our existance. Thank you for all you have done for us over the years.

Dear Jan, Scott and Jason,
I am proud to have known Bud, one of the Finest Generation. He was a man of integrity, humble despite his many accomplishments and talents. He carried himself with dignity, was warm and accepting, and had that sweet smile that could melt anyone.
I remember you with love Bud, as you fly free from this earth.

Thank you for signing my Dads Guest Book. I am proud to be the daughter of that brave, humble, loving man who spoke very little of his accomplishments. We had to dig through his old papers to really know his experiences.
Thank You

Thank you for your service, Mr. Watson! My own late father was in WW II, in another bomb group. We owe you and others in "The Greatest Generation" a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.

I read about "Bud" in the Bee this morning and decided (for the first time) to respond to an obituary. What a wonderful celebration of life you folks crafted. A wonderful bio, and the three photos of Bud were the perfect touch. I would have loved to have known the man.

To the family of Winston C. "Bud' Watson, please accept my deepest sympathies. May your memories of your father and grandfather bring you comfort. Your father's memories of WW II evoked memories for me of my own father, who passed away 18 years ago. My father was known as "Frenchy" during WW II and throughout his Air Force career. He flew B24's also and when I read your fathers notice, I thought it might have been my father that was 'cutting the corn" with yours, but though it sounds like...
