Fort Worth, Texas - If you asked a hundred people who Buddy Watson was, they'd all give you a different story. A pro golfer, a man in the liquor "bidness," a shop owner, a traveling salesman, an Insurance expert, an athlete and a great dancer. Buddy was none of these things and he was all of them. What he was, was a sweet man and a terrific storyteller. From early in his youth he was constantly sharing adventuresome stories. It didn't matter if he was trying to entertain a group of friends, customers or colleagues or just making small talk along the 8th fairway. No matter the occasion, Buddy had a story and they were always wonderful.

It's no surprise that Edward Buddy Watson was featured as the hero of most of his tales. He was born in Fort Worth on October 3, 1936 to Floyd and Ruby Watson. He grew up in Fort Worth with big dreams and big plans and stories to go along with them. He graduated from Carter Riverside High and went on to Arlington State College. He worked for Lone Star Liquor, part owner of Pinkies Liquors, owned a gift shop, and sold medical insurance. Buddy had three children, Tina, Kirk and Laurie. His work took him to Houston, Odessa, Dallas and back to Fort Worth.

Buddy passed away peacefully on Monday, October 18th, after a long battle with Alzheimer's. He is survived by the love of his life, Eudora McKee; his son, Kirk Watson; and his daughter, Laurie Watson Wallace; son-in law, Stan Wallace; granddaughter, Wren Wallace; and countless extended family members.

He is predeceased by his daughter, Tina Marie Watson.

Friends and members of the community are invited to join the family on Friday, October 29, 2021 at 9:30 am for a celebration of life service at Greenwood Funeral Chapel.

Memorials: In lieu of flowers, the family requests a tribute donation in honor of Edward Buddy Watson to the Alzheimer's Association online or by mail to 225 N. Michigan Ave., Fl. 17, Chicago, IL 60601."
