John was my favorite boat neighbor. So many great times at the club and on the boats! Praying for Susan and all his loved ones during this sad time...Nancy (DANCY)

Will miss this old boy! We shared some stories of back pain recently, and I had a surgery consultation with his surgeon. He was dealing with just too much pain for any single person to go through.

I have rich memories of the Buckeye Lake Yacht Club-- Watson and my dad Nick pulling all kinds of jokes when I was a kid. I sure wish I could have spent more time with John as an adult.

My thoughts and positive vibes are with his family.

Rest in peace Coach, you were my favorite football coach of all. Joe Edwards LHS 1967

May they speed you to paradise.
May the Lord enfold you in his mercy.
May you find eternal life.

Agile, hostile and mobile is what you asked from us- A lot of fun many years ago. Very good coaching staff in Lancaster 1971 (Fall). Cincinnati Elder(with 11 Division 1 players) came to Lancaster + were soundly beaten 17-7. Coach Watson's defensive strategies confused them. Thanks Coach, RIP.
