Robert Larry Watt Sr's Obituary
Robert Larry Watt, age 85, is now resting peacefully with our Lord Jesus, as of December 30,
2024. Larry grew up on a farm in Dyer, Tennessee. He met the love of his life (Nancy) at the
skating rink when he accidentally knocked her over while skating. He played basketball, and
Nancy was cheerleading. He married Nancy, and they had two children (Carol D. Beck and
Robert Larry Watt, Jr.). They were married 52 years until Nancy died on October 4, 2011.
Larry started work in the lady’s shoe business in his early 20's and was promoted rapidly. He
and his family moved to the Houston, Texas area in 1973 to buy a small chain of lady's shoe
stores known as Brucal's Shoes which he owned and operated until he retired in 2004.
Larry loved hunting and fishing; and he shared his passion with his grandchildren. Larry met
Hang Cam (Hannah) Le-Watt at church two years after Nancy's death, and they were married
2014. Hannah is Larry’s surviving wife.
Larry is preceded in death by his parents, Benny Watt and Ora Lee Boyd Watt; and his wife of
52 years, Nancy Carol Watt.
Larry is survived by his daughter, Carol D. Beck, her husband, James "Randy" Beck; his
grandchildren, Bryan D. Beck and his wife, Noelle; Christopher M. Beck and his wife, Jennifer;
his great grandchildren, Brayden K. Beck and Rylee K. Beck; and by his son, Robert L. Watt, Jr.
and his son, Benjamin "Ben" Watt; and by his brother, W. Russell Watt and Russell’s children,
Michael Watt, Susan Word and Teresa Norris; and by Larry’s surviving wife, Hang Cam
“Hannah” Le-Watt and her two children, Jason Vo and his wife, Huong Pham; and Jocelyn Vo
and her husband, The Pham and their son, Jeffrey Pham.
A private graveside ceremony with Larry’s family and close friends will be held at Davis
