Mr. Jack D. Williams was my professor and mentor while I attended Wilberforce University. He was very instrumental in helping me to determine what direction I wanted to go after graduating from Wilberforce. I will truly miss him, but I will remember how he helped and guided me. He always had a great since of humor and gave good advice. May God bless his soul and may he rest in peace. With all my love I send condolences to his family.

To: JoHelen Williams; Cousin CarrieThomas and All members of this Beautiful family.
Jack Dempsey and I shared so much together growing up in Brazoria, TX. From all church activities at Zion Temple AME to Elementary school ,Middle school and High School.
It's so hard to lose someone you love so deeply, especially when it happens so unexpectedly.But always remember that you have the LOVE and CONCERN of FAMULY AND FRIENDS, SO many people care about you and are keeping you in our prayers,thoughts, and deep in our hearts.
Know that the heart is never ready to say good-bye,and the time is never right, BUT GOD had this time planned long before Jack was was born. Just know that I'm thinking of you with deepest Sympathy and as each new day passes that God will shower you with Peace and COMFORT. ❤❤Love a Broken hearted family member.
