Ronnie, Laura and Teresa, I am so sorry that I could not attend Bill s funeral. He was a great person to work with at Morton Hospital. I am so greatful that he was at my side with Dr. Figlock when Susan was born. I am sorry that we have lost touch over the years. Laura, I hope that we can be in touch. So much has gone on since you and Kate were in Coyle. I am at the same address and on Facebook, hope to hear from you. Prayers for Bill. Love Mrs G

Ron, Laura and Teresa,

My heartfelt sympathies to you all.
Bill was a wonderful man and a compassionate physician. His patients were truly blessed and lucky to have had him caring for them.
He taught me a lot in the years I worked for him, both medically and politically.

Kyle and I were fortunate to have friends like Bill and Ronnie Watson. He was a skilled and compassionate physician. We were proud to be collegues on the Medical Staff at Morton Hospital. He bravely battled the ravages of Parkinson's Disease for years after his retirement.

We were fortunate to have this wonderful man be an important part of our lives. Out condolences to Ronnie and the familiy.

Dr. Robert Sepersky and Kyle Sepersky
