Glenda, Billy and other Williams family members. I was saddened to hear of the home going of my dear friend Foggy. He was such a kind, gentle and loving person. It seems like only yesterday when we were roommates at UNC-CH. Foggy will certainly be missed by everyone that knew him. May you find comfort and strength in the memories you shared with your loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of great loss and sorrow.
