This is a very old photo of Watty and me, probably somewhere out near Harleyville. I´m looking up at an airplane probably, which I still do. He is 10 or 12 years older than me. Mom always called him Whitey because of his hair.

I´m so sorry to hear of the passing of Watty!! I had known him since I was a teenager, or younger. Him and Mary were very close Friends with my Parents. I also knew him from being my competitor in the beer business for many years. I will Happily Remember him from work, Family get togethers, and Fishing! He enjoyed fishing as much as my Dad did! One of my Fondest memories was one Christmas, they gave me an electric race car figure 8 track. I played with that thing All night!
He was a Very Respected Gentleman!! He will be missed by Many!!
Thoughts and Prayers to Bubba and Family!
RIP my Friend!!

I knew Mr. Knight from living in Clearview and him growing up with my father. Later in life he was our competitor in the beer industry. What a nice man and my thoughts and prayers go out to Ruthie and Bubba.

While I didn't know Mr. Knight directly, I have fond memories of attending the Charleston YMCA day camp with Ruthie and Watson in the 1970s. I have thought of them from time to time and was saddened to hear of their loss. I shall try to reach out to you privately. May your father's memory be for a blessing and may you know from no more such sorrow.
