I'll miss you very much. I love you ❤

May God give you strength is my prayer. Uncle Joe will be missed greatly. I thought he would never retire from Cooper Green everyone loved him and   
He loved his job and would come to work and never took time off dedicated.  Weeping endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.  Yours truly,  Betty Norwood

I worked with "Uncle Joe" for years at Cooper Green, he was one of a kind and I'll miss him.

Offering my deepest sympathy to the Watkins family. Sorry for your loss. May the peace of God comfort you through this most difficult time.

I worked with Uncle Joe at Cooper Green and he was always willing to help to fill prescriptions; however I know he preferred working the inpatient area of the Pharmacy at Cooper Green Hospital. He always seemed to have a smile on his face and enjoyed cracking a joke or two. Hated to see him retire a few years ago. He was missed then and more so now.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the Watkins Family and to all who knew and loved him.  I had the pleasure of meeting "Joe" while working in HR at Cooper Green.  I will never forget how easy-going he was.  Thinking of "Joe" reminds me of the many wonderful people I have met at The Coop who have moved on, but forever remain in my heart. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

TO THE FAMILY;   HERE IN COOPER GREEN PHARMACY DEPARTMENT
WE AFFECTONATELY CALLED HIM "UNCLE JOE" HE WAS A JOY TO WORK WITH.  GOD BLESS YOU ALL, MARQUITTA   JOHNSON

To The Family of Joe Watkins and Nora Able:   I worked with Joe Watkins at Cooper Green Mercy Hospital Pharmacy department.  Joe was a very sweet person and was easy to work with.  He never lifted his voice to anyone, instead he smiled and ask if he could help them and then shared with them the vast years of working experience he gained while working in the pharmacy.  He was always there when anyone needed him.  There will never be a more shining jewel in heaven's portal.  Barbara Ila Faye Thompson Hyatt
