We were so sorry to hear of Dr. Watsky’s passing.  We were patients of his.  We missed him when he retired.  And even before his full retirement we always wanted to make our appointments on days he would be working.  He was such a nice man and very caring to his patients.  Our deepest sympathies to the family.  Just know that he touched many lives.  Blessings.

I remember him as nice and patient when he did my eye exams. I didn't know that he passed, but my mind ran across him today. My condolences to the family.

Very great man so sorry for the family's loss. Great eye doctor everyone of my kids was treated by Dr. Watsky. Will be greatly remembered by so many.

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Watsky.  I had just talked with him on Thursday morning to remind him of his up coming eye surgery. He sounded a little tired but assured me Roberta was there with him. Praise God he eyes are perfect today.  He always gave me and my husband the best advice about anything. But most of all to love and forgive others and be an example of God. He was a caring and giving man. He would literally give you the shirt off of his back. He taught me a lot eyes and I have carried that on into my job today.  His legacy will live on in our family. He left  mark on our hearts. May God give you all peace as you move forward with out husband, daddy,granddaddy until we all meet again...




 

My husband and I were patients of his a few years back. So sad to hear this. He was a sweet man. May he Rest In Peace. 

I was a patient of Dr. Watsky from the time I was in Elementary School through High School.  He was a wonderful doctor, and had a great sense of humor.  I have always had great memories of him through the years.  He will missed. Rest In Peace!

God bless your family, and may you all have comfort that he was adored by his community and patients.


My condolences go out to Roberta, his family and friends. He was my optimist when I started wearing contact lenses and always made me laugh each time I saw him. Roberta has become a good friend to me this past year as I see her each month when we get together playing Bunco with other ladies in her neighborhood. Prayers to her and her family. 

The world lost a very kind, loving and caring person.  Melvin loved his wife, his sons,and the rest of his family.  I met Melvin and Roberta when our boys played baseball together and they  were such a precious couple.  Melvin was my eye Dr. for years and he was such a great Dr.  I will think of you often Melvin, and I know that you will be in heaven when all of the rest of us get there.  
Roberta, I cannot imagine the hurt that you feel.  Just remember that God is right beside you.  Trust in Him and lean on Him.
David and Mark, always remember the love your Dad had for each of you.  Take care of your Mama the way that your dad would want you to.
May God be beside each one of you and help you through the days ahead.  Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.




With deepest sympathy:

"THOSE WE LOVE DON'T GO AWAY THEY WALK BESIDE US EVERY DAY, UNSEEN, UNHEARD, BUT ALWAYS NEAR, STILL LOVED, STILL MISSED AND VERY DEAR. "

During this difficult time, may you find comfort in the memories of special moments you shared.  



Roberta, my dear, I am so sorry for your loss.  It was a blessing that Mel came into your life, and that you had so much time together.  I know he  will always be with you in your heart and memory.  Jim and I are thinking of you and your family.  With love, Judy 

 Sorry to hear about your loss and my prayers are with your family. Melvin was sure a wonderful man he always took care of his patience well and I’am so glad I was able to be one of his patience’s.  Even if I was to see him out he always gave me advice about my eyes if I told him I had a problem.. Prays are with you all.  Christine Garcia

I was lucky enough to know Mel and Roberta when they were married - at the wedding - and travelled with them as they journeyed to their new home in Senatobia - where Mel was a beloved chemistry instructor - and visited with them once there and once in New Orleans -and unlucky enough to have been separated by time and distance  - from the remarks here I can conclude that Mel never lost his warm and gracious nature - and am glad he and Roberta had so many wonderful years together.

RIP Dr. Watsky. I know you are proud of your family and I am honored to have met you and become friends with David. God bless the Watsky family. 

One of my closest dearest friend of my life.  A gentleman's gentleman, scholar, mentor and peace maker.  You were the glue that kept our tight group together, a friend to talk for long periods on the phone on anything and now you are suddenly gone. Your legacy of caring for humanity, family, friends and devotion to faith will never be forgotten by me.
My deepest sympathy to his loving family.

Melvin was such an amazing friend and family man. He really wanted everyone to be their best. We will miss his laughter, and forever treasure the great family events we shared together. This honorable man is a loss to us all, but Heaven rejoices. A great servant has entered the gates. 

Hard to believe you are gone.............a very special friend, hard to find,  hard to lose, and impossible to forget.    Bernard Arnold

Melvin  was a wonderful person.  He always had a great smile and He was a big hugger.  Melvin an I were buddies.  He would always check on me and Jim if we had surgery or just felt bad.

I only had the privilege of working with Dr Watsky on a few occasions. He is one of the most beautiful and caring Doctors I have ever met.  My heart goes out to his family and to all that have known and love this incredible man. 

Dr Watsky will be missed!! Such a beautiful person.  We had so much fun working together when he would come to Orangeburg. I always looked forward to seeing him. I will miss him dearly.

So many memories..so many years as friends.. .We can't name them all there are so many.  We will miss you Melvin....rest in Peace...

Melvin and Roberta were two of the first people Jerry and I met when we moved to Goose Creek.  That was over forty years ago. They are the best!  I will miss you at our church old friend.  Give my love to Jerry and Al when you see them and talk over old times.

He was a good eye doctor to go see me and my 2 daughters because we used to get our glasses and contacts from him and they were very good people over there at that place where he used to work at . They were awesome people over there and we are going to miss him dearly. This is so sad to see him gone. 

What a wonderful cousin he has been over 76 years.  I have good memories of the many things we shared in Louisiana growing up, at LSU and now on email and phone calls.  I will really miss you.  You will always be in my thoughts,
Love,
Maxine

Melvin was one of best men I ever knew. Growing up as a preachers daughter I have had many men in my life who were like a father to me and Melvin was definitely one of them! He was so kind and loving and he loved my boys as well! To the family... we love you all and you are all in our thoughts and prayers! 

Roberta, David and Mark,
There are no words that can express the loss of Melvin. I have never met a more kinder and giving man in my life. I pray you all find peace in knowing how much he loved his family. In times like this we might not understand why  but one thing is for sure he is with our God.
Sending love and prayers for all who loved him . 
The Wingler family

I love you and I will miss you! Not many kids are as lucky as we were... not only did we each have awesome parents, but we were lucky enough to have many parents. I am blessed to have had you as one of my father's.
