Hello fellow friends and fans,

It is with heavy heart that I must report to you that our good friend John
Watson, Sr. aka Morris in "Early Edition" passed away last Thursday. We have
notified Kyle of his death.

I really love John. All of us that have had the opportunity to get to know
him do. He has such a sweet and wonderful spirit that he really touched our
hearts.

He was one of the celebrities that donated his time and talents to the
"Early Edition" Conventions for the fans. I will miss seeing him soooooo
much.

I know how hard this must be for his family and for Yoko Noge and the Jazz
Me Blues band, too. My heart goes out to all of them.

I am including the information on the ceremony sent to me by Yoko below.

If you want to send a card or flowers this is the information you can use.

OMG I am in shock, I really can't believe it. We were hoping to see him
Monday Night at the Hot House where he plays trombone.

I will take the train in Friday and attend both the wake and the ceremony.
Bob and I will also drive in on Thursday night for the public viewing.

If you would like to know more about John Watson, Sr, you can find more

You will find pictures in the Photo Album called John Watson, Sr. I hope you

Thank you all,
