RICHARD LYNN WATTS (DICK), age 82, of Little Rock, passed from this life on March 31, 2015. He was born Oct. 27, 1932 in Tulsa, Okla. to the late G Len Broughton Watts and Margaret Harrison Watts. He is survived by his loving family: wife, Suzanne T. Watts and daughters, Julia Benton (Darrell), Adriene Allison (Ken); grandchildren: Richard Cooper, Samuel Cooper, Julian Moncho, Katie Rainey, Roy Rainey III, and Elizabeth Rainey, as well as two great-grandchildren. Dick (Pawpaw) was a man with an infinite capacity for love and laughter. He enjoyed sailing, football, the horse races, and a good Coney Island hot dog with whomever happened to find themselves in his warm company. He loved watching his grandsons play hockey, football and tennis, as well as his granddaughter's dancing and theatrical performances. He loved traveling all over the country as an independent furniture rep. and remained best friends with his childhood buddies for life. Dick was a man with a great heart for many people and places throughout his life, but what he loved most of all was staying at home with his beautiful Suzie and their three rambunctiously lovable dogs. We love you Pawpaw. A private family Memorial Celebration of life will be held at the home of his daughter and son-in-law's home, Ken and Adriene Allison, on Sunday, April 12 from 4 to 6 p.m. Condolences to the family can be made online at www.gunnfuneralhomelr.com.
