March 9, 2025 at 6:43 pmWhile my “Uncle Junior” was my pastor growing as a child and teenager, after he passed away I’ve only known two spiritual advisors my entire adult life:
One was Bishop Willie McNair…
…the other was Rev. Tim Williams.
At this time, words cannot describe the sadness that I feel. However, I know I was blessed because they were each leaders in the same church congregation.
With “Rev. Tim” having now returned home, I at least have some comfort and happiness knowing all three of them are together.
Rest in peace. 😔 🙏 🕊
