Jack Throck Watson, 77, died on Sept. 3 in Santa Rosa, Calif.

As professor and director of the MSU Mass Spectrometry Facility, his laboratory studied peptides and proteins by various mass spectrometry methods. Jack’s passion for mentoring and teaching, his love of nature and commitment to its preservation, his enjoyment of a beautiful wine or delightful meal, and his pride in a hard day’s work are all part of his legacy.”—Robert E.
