July 9, 2020 at 11:44 pmCondolences to the family, Bro Williams has gone home to be with Jesus and to see the love of his life – Mrs. Gladys!! Bro Williams was a joy to work along side back in 80s and then to transport him back and forth to church was even a greater joy. Always kind, a smile on his face and just a funny person that could create so much laughter, He will be sorely missed as the gentleman on St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church van. We will miss seeing and talking to him on separate occasions. It is a honor to have been in his presence. Stay strong and together Williams Family.
