Barbara Dolgia says
April 4, 2021 at 6:45 pmMy deepest sympathy to Vanessa and the Johnson family. I loved my spiritual brother and my buddy. When Willie walked in a room you knew Big Willie was there, not so much because of his size but becaus of his smile and the love he had for God. I will forever miss my buddy, especially when the male chorus sing again at FBCSH. I can imagine Willie is saying scripture from II Timothy 4:7-8. Rest on Soldier, Rest On!
