Add A Condolence

Mr. Richard was one of the kindest persons I had ever come in contact with in my life. He was like a loving father to my sister and I growing up. Even though he was my brothers father (Richard Watson Butler), he still treated us like his own. I remember the trips to Hershey Park, dinner at Pizza Hut, riding in his red taxi cab and him visiting me in the hospital at 14 years old and bringing me fried shrimp. I felt so special! I hadn't seen him in some years but I have always prayed for him as I realized he'd become ill.My condolences to his family and my younger brother on the loss of a great man. May God comfort and keep you.

My Condolences to Gearl and Tom and the entire Watson family my prayers are with you during your sorrow. Richard will surely be missed. Mae Tucker Harrison of Hampton, VA.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
