TO THE FAMILY OF JAMES WATKINS, JR.
I only knew Mr. Watkins for a short while, but it didn't take long to know he was a fun loving, happy man. He was also serious about the job and work he did. Pray to God to give you peace during these difficult days. James was a kind, friendly coworker. We will miss him.

I have known Mr. James Watkins since college days at Xavier University. He was a bundle of energy then and even when he started to teach in the Orleans Parish school system, it DID NOT change. It was almost like a nervous energy with him: he ALWAYS wanted to do something and ALWAYS wanted to do it WELL. He was outspoken and had a GREAT sense of humor, but...he was SERIOUS about what he embarked on. My prayers go out to the family. I know you will miss him. He was ALSO quite a musician.
