It is with a heavy heart that we (Williams Family) send our prayers and condolence to the family. John was a wonderful friend to me and my family. I will miss his contagious smile and jokes. May each of you hold on to all the love, laughter and memories of John to sustain each of you for the days and nights ahead. Just know that God and John is watching over all of us now. Heaven just got a lot funnier with John being there.God’s Peace and Love I leave unto each of you each day. RIP my Dear Friend John.
