SBU's Watson Passes Away Unexpectedly

The St. Bonaventure University community extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Dr. John J. Watson, professor of marketing, who died unexpectedly this morning. He was 45.

Dr. Watson is the son of the late Dr. John G. Watson, former dean of the School of Business, and Dr. Suzanne Watson, retired faculty member of the Computer Science department; and the brother of Steve Watson, SBU's athletics director. He is survived by his wife, Dr. Leslie Raymore Watson, and four children: John, Noah, Stephen, and Elizabeth.

Dr. Watson served as the primary color commentator for SBU-TV broadcasts of men's basketball games.

The family has extended an invitation to the St. Bonaventure and Greater Olean communities to attend a previously scheduled basketball game involving their oldest son, John (who goes by "Buzz"), at 6:30 p.m. today at the Archbishop Walsh gymnasium. It was young John's desire to play.

The university will announce funeral arrangements as soon as they are available.
