Gale F. Watson Sr.


Gale F. Watson Sr., 65, of Alexandria, died September 12, 2012, at his residence. At his request, no service will be held. Gale was born March 28, 1947, at Booth Hospital in Covington, KY. Gale was an avid musician his entire life, being taught by his father, and passing that passion down to his two oldest sons. Throughout the late 70’s and most of the 80’s, he could be seen every weekend playing at Bobbie Mackie’s, Glen Schmitz, or Mom’s Opery House.  His band was Gale Watson and Kentucky Morning. Gale served in the Navy, and spent most of his naval career in Hawaii.  He worked many years for P&G, HENKLE, and most recently with ADP. Gale spent more than 50 years of his life in Kentucky, living every minute to the fullest.  All that knew him would tell you that his personality was bigger than life, and nothing was more important to him than his kids. He is survived by his wife of 8 years, Sharyne; Sister, Diane; Sons, Gale Franklin Jr., Matthew Gale and Jeffrey; Daughters, Jessica Gayle and Virginia; and his Niece, Diana.
