Don Holland Watson was born May 14, 1936 in Fort Smith, Arkansas to David and Hazel Holland Watson in the back of a taxicab on arrival to the hospital door. The newspaper story was titled "Driver of Cab Loses Race with Dr. Stork, Boy Born in Machine." On July 26, 2019 in Oklahoma City, after a yearlong battle with kidney failure, he went to be with his Lord and Savior. Don received his PHD in Psychology in 1977. He was more pleased to become an Ordained Minister in 2010. He joined the Air Force in 1954 and was later stationed in Germany as a code breaker in the USAF Security Service 6911th Radio Group Mobile. While in Germany, he would meet the love of his life, Margarette Weber. They would be together for 64 years. In 1959, Don brought his family back to his hometown of Blackwell, Oklahoma and worked in a local Zinc factory as an electrician and became an active leader in his union. He later joined the Blackwell Police Department in 1966 and began his career in law enforcement. In 1969, Don relocated to Bethany, Oklahoma and the Warr Acres Police department. Don was an accomplished singer and, while attending Blackwell High School, he received multiple awards for chorus competitions. Recently his family found the embroidered letter "B" that was never attached to a lettermans jacket. Don was active in his church choir and performed multiple solos for his church family. Don and Marga were well known for their German translation skills and worked with many private individuals on old German scripts for those searching their genealogy histories. Don became fully fluent in German to be able to begin dating Marga. Margas mother would not allow him to court Marga until he could speak German; the rest as they say is history. Don was a patent holder, has copyrighted lyrics and been published for numerous Biblical study books. Don is survived by his wife of 64 years, Margarette Watson; sons, Gunter and Gerald Watson; daughter, Lydia Saunders; 9 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren; 2 nieces; 7 nephews; and older sister, Martha Watson Riebe.
