August 7, 2022 at 9:08 amTo the Williams family my deepest condolences, Leon, officer friendly as we knew him was the man amongst men! He could sell ice to an Eskimo and fur to a bear! His smile would make you want to be around him and listen to what he had to say. He was full of life if you were down He would open his mouth and pick you up. Rest well Leon, brother you will be truly missed! Elder William A ferguson.
