Dr Watkins was my sons orthodontist for years when he practiced in Greenville NC. I'm just finding out about his passing and I'm so saddened. You will always be remembered for the kindness and professionalism you showed every visit. I remember you ordering Dominos pizza and soda for patients when appointments ran late or you were running behind to the office. I smile when I think of you, prayers for all who knew and miss him. Family in my thoughts and prayers.

Always a complete gentleman. A good friend from our days at Oak Ridge Military Academy. You will be missed by all that knew you. Maj. Steve Williams ORMA class of '75 Advisor to Ministry of Defense Ukraine

Flotilla and Sharon, I know the pain and sadness you feel from the loss of a brother. Please accept my deepest condolences and know that prayers for peace and comfort are with you at this time. May God's grace be also with you, and may healing begin. Many blessings to you and your family. Sincerely and with fond remembrance, Davetta Florance-Bristow

You will be missed Cousin. Rest well. Aleah Hayden

You will be missed Cousin. Rest well.

An opening thought ... Love is the only thing that never dies.

I and probably   We are so glad for the time we had. It pains me to my core and at the same time it expands my heart ❤️.  

Between my high school classmates... Chip Culler, Charlie V,, Paul Watkins sometimes nicknamed pWATT ... I have never known anyone more human than those three.

He meant so much to so many!  

From my High School days, My Mother and pWATT's Mother .. were friends ... Wednesdays were often Bible Study ... When Paul was in town .. often they would meet afterwards for dinner... like most conversations talking about about anything, everything or nothing... occasionally probably often Paul would be Paul .. causing his Mother who I called Dr. Mrs. WATT ... to gently shake her head 🤷‍♀️ ... my Mother asked more than once — Do you want to trade sons?!?  Meaning me for Paul..?.. 🤔 I wonder how that would work out??!!??  

Disappearing from this earth ... you will be sorely missed.  

Memories are not in things but within us... To the best of the best ... a salute 🫡 and double pumper ❤️❤️

Love ❤️ DIBBS  | Matthew Dunton
