William "Bill" Henry Watkins, Jr.

Mr. Bill was a good man. I enjoyed flying with him and working for him. We will continue to pray for his family and friends.

Well Granddad...Bryan & I are out on the lake and all i can think about is you. Everything happened so fast and it still troubles me everyday. I could sit here and ask why? Why you? Why now? I can't imagine having my wedding and kids without you here. I would have gotten married in the hospital if I knew you would be there. I know healing will take time but I pray it is sooner rather than later. I love you and am so glad that Bryan got to spend time with you and get to know you. And I'm also thankful for Uncle Tom and Aunt Peggy. You are all so much alike. I hope I have memories with them as I did with you. You were the one I seeked approval from and could depend on. Mississippi was so hard without you this weekend. But instead of asking why all I can do is give thanks. Thank you for being you and thank you God for letting Bill Watkins be my Granddad. Granddad, I guess when we meet again in Heaven we can go on our elk hunt :)

I will never forget Mr. Bill & all the wonderful things he did for me. Working for him was a great experience & just knowing I could call this man my friend. He will be greatly missed & always in our hearts. (thank for all the hunting too)

It was a honor knowing and working with you at ACI. I'll miss you. God Bless!

Mr. Bill will always be remembered in our hearts and thoughts.

We will him more than you will ever know. God bless your damily.

Bill was a delightful and caring person. He shall be missed by many, many friends.

Dear ones:
Never met a like soul. What a deep man when you needed it, and when you needed laughter and other feelings Bill was
ready for that side also.

Love to all of you.

"Hat", are they biting on the new creek you're on?

I am so thankful for having the privilege of knowing and working with a wonderful person. You were our boss but more so our good friend and teacher of so many things pertaining to work and to life. We lost a friend on earth but gained a beautiful Angel that will always watch over us. I love you and will always miss my Mr. Bill. Mark and Linda Brasher.
