Just found out about Tommy’s passing. Was good friends with Tom growing up. We played little league together and remained friends for years. He was the nicest guy anyone could have met. I will keep Dr. Watson (nickname) in my prayers. Hopefully he’s playing a game of stickball up there in Heaven. RIP Pal.

My deepest condolences to all of the Watson family on losing Tommy. He was such a wonderful person. I'll always remember him with a smile because he always had one for me and a laugh to share. God bless you, Tommy.

my sympathies to mrs watson, lorna, ingrid, william and jamie and all your family...decades go by in a flash, and you develop a life, and sometimes you forget whats important..and whos important...as paul diplatzi put it, growoing up on warren st was a treasure i wouldnt trade for anything in the world..and Big Tommy, to me, was the crown jewel of that treasure. for my childhood, and my young adulthood, the first 30 years of my life, i spoke with tommy daily, many times a day...and i really wish i did the same the last 15 years also...ill miss tommy, he was one of kind....

I was lucky enough to have met Tom when he worked at the Whidden Hospital and became fast friends with him, which was easy because Tom was the type of guy you could talk with about anything, He was a true friend who always looked out for and helped the people he cared about. It was a privilege to call him my friend and I will miss him dearly.

Tommy "Unkie" you were the best! Big T asks for you everyday. He misses you but knows you're his guardian angel and will watch over him. When you found out you wouldn't be with us much longer you said to Jeff that you're biggest regret was that you wouldn't get to see what T becomes :(
You will be the one guiding him along his journey of life. Watch over us all, please. Not a day goes by that I don't she a tear. I hope you're at peace and having a great time catching up with Daddy! Love ya T too much and all day xo

Our deepest sympathy to Liz and the entire Watson family. We have fond memories of the Watson children growing up from children to adults. It seems as though it was yesterday that Tommy and William were playing with our sons Richard and Michael. You all remained close friends all through the years.

Tommy, we will miss your smile! Be at peace with God.

I didn't know Tommy well, which is to say i didn't see him many times..or know him as well, or as long, as i would have liked.... That being said, even knowing him casually thru Bill and Lanie, it took neither a long time, nor a rocket scientist to quickly arrive at the conclusion that Tommy was, by any measure... a good man. I found him to be kind hearted and always willing to help anyone who needed help, he was funny and always willing to share a story. I wish i had had the chance to know him better. My sincere condolences to the entire Family on your loss.

You are the only father Nick knows.And believe me he loves you. Keep everyone up there laughing like you always did with us. Rest In Peace my wonderful brother. Till we meet again.

There really are no words to express what a great man Tom was. Working alongside him at the hospital, Tom always ensured my safety and provided much needed comedic relief in tense situations. He was the go-to guy, always willing to lend a hand or help out when he could. Generous, good hearted and sweet, there really didn't seem to be a bad bone in his body. We lost a good guy and Heaven certainly gained a tremendous spirit. I hope he's drinking a cold one on his eternal WFD in heaven.

Tommy was a wonderful wonderful kind person. I picture him sitting on the deck watching his nieces and nephews with that big smile. He was the only one who called me LaFucci and I will miss that. He had the love of your wonderful family. He and Bernie are together again watching over all of you. RIP Tommy the famous Unkie

Tom and I became friends when we both attended first grade at the Mckinley school. I remember how much he liked to laugh and have a good time. When Tom went to dom savio and I went to rhs we lost touch until I started to work AT Cerratani's supermarket where i met tom again when he worked at dimino's subs. I also had the pleasure of meeting tom's sister Ingrid who also worked at cerratani's and his mom. a beautiful family.
May my friend rest in peace and pray for all those left behind. we will meet again
