Although I'm not there my thoughts and prayers are with your family and kids Watty! It's hard to believe you're not here and I'll always remember the good times... growing up the way we did, in such a small community created friendships that are as strong as family and I hope you know how deeply you'll be missed! You have a great crew of brothers that will forever be looking out for your wife and kids as if they were their own. Rest in peace Watty

I only met Jeff once at the reunion, but from all the beautiful things his friends have wrote on FB , I wish I would have known him. A beautiful man has gone to heaven and is wearing his team jersey for sure. Please know I can only image the great loss and grief you are all going through .
He would be my third cousin and believe me it is very sad here in Arizona , thinking of all of you. Sincerely Sylvia and John.
