William "Sonny" Watson, "Punchy" or "Will" as he was affectionately known, attended the Atlantic City Public School System. He worked various jobs and was also a Marine in the Armed Service before being honorably discharged.

He left Atlantic City in the late 90's and moved to Harrisburg P.A. where he began a new life. As he did so, he was motivated to reach back to help so many others along the way. He started a lawn service business and also enjoyed putting his barber skills to work. He was a loving, caring, wise, and generous person who truly had a heart for the people. He had a great sense of humor and would love to put a smile on your face. To know him was to love him.

He went on to work for Chisuk Emuna Congregation - a synagogue where he was embraced and became a part of the family. When Will retired in 2018, after working almost 20 years for the synagogue, he was honored by a large gathering of members and thanked for his hard work, friendship, and faith. He leaves to cherish his fond memories: three beautiful daughters, Latasha Cherry (Dawud), Tanika Brock (Derek) and Donisha Tobe, one sister, Maria Watson Quince, his ex-wife and dear friend Marsha Tobe, 7 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, one aunt, Dorothy McCoy (Lovie) a uncle more like a brother, Derrick Watson (Picky) a special cousin and niece, Toni Elliot and Apriel Quince, uncles, cousins, and a host of extended family, friends, and neighbors and, last but not least, Rabbi Ron Muroff and the entire Chisuk Emuna family.
