Obituary
Born: December 4, 1928
Departed: October 10, 2004
Mr. Louis Watts, Jr. was born to the late Mr. and Mrs. Louis Watts, Sr. on December 4, 1928. Much happiness filled their lives at the birth of their first born, Louis Watts, Jr. He was the first of their four children.
Mr. Watts attended the public schools of Atlanta. He earned his living as a skilled painter and was very much in demand around the city. He spent much of his spare time fishing and enjoyed sharing his fishing success stories with others.
Christian upbringing caused him to attend church on a regular basis in his early life and thus, he accepted Christ at a young age at Turner Monumental A.M.E. Church. Though he relocated for a while, he reunited with Turner upon his return to Atlanta. He served faithfully until his health declined.
To celebrate his memories, he leaves: a son, Vincent Watts; a sister, Juanita Mitchell; an aunt, Edna M. Lewis; a host of cousins and nephews; and friends who loved him dearly.
