Not sure what to say?





To say that Tommy was a unique individual is lessens the person he truly was. Tommy was Tommy, no matter who he was with or what he was doing. His personality never changed, from High School til his last day on Earth. Tommy Watt will be missed, but never forgotten

Tom and I worked alot of summers hauling hay for Leroy Riney, we worked together with the company that put our waterline in the ground.
I have lost a very dear friend. Thanks Tom for the years of fun growing up.
