Claudius "Bud" Watts III

I had the honor to work for General Watts in his final years of active duty. I will always remember him as leader and gentleman. My thoughts and prayers for his family and his eternal peace.

My condolences.

To the entire Watts Family, our condolences on the passing of a great Warrior, Scholar, Husband, Father and Grandfather. A true pillar of strength for his Alma Mater. God Bless you and your family.
Very Respectfully,
Preston McLaughlin. `83

To the Watts family,
Barby and I send our deepest sympathy and regrets on the passing of General Watts and also for his family. I had the honor of working directly for him as the Assistant Deputy Comptroller of the Air Force from 1987 to 1989. He was, in all ways, an outstanding Air Force leader and one of most intelligent and finest gentleman I had known during my 31 year career. He set an example of excellence for all of us and continued to in his amazing second career at the Citadel and in private business. I will carry the fondest memory of him for the rest of my life.
Kind Regards,
Gary and Barby Hahn
