View all 12 ReflectionsBob Watson was the Sheriff of Larimer County who hired me in 1973 beginning a career lasting 40 years. I was working the jail the day he died of a heart attack while interrogating the Mata murder suspect. We lost a great leader who had dedicated his life to the criminal justice system.
