He still continues with his Watkins business and enjoys having his Watkins garage sales, to meet his many friends.

Willard’s familiar saying is, “Watkins men never die, they just fade away.”

In Loving Memory Ruth E. Zorn Who passed away on April 20, 1994 My Rose My rose is white, your rose is red; Your mother lives, but mine is dead.

And looking on your red, red rose Which you wear, ah, so happily, I wish some lucky wind that blows Would bring my mother back to me That I might take her hand again And press it, oh, so tenderly.

I would dry the tears and ease the pain That in her life she bore for me.

That chance is yours, not mine, tonight; You rose is red, but mine is white.

Your rose is red, but mine is white.

And yet, when I kneel down tonight To say my prayers as shadows creep, “Now I lay me down to sleep,” The same sweet prayer I used to know,
