To the Williams Family: First, I want to let you know that I too have a heavy heart and second I was very, shocked and sadden that a musical partner that I shared the stage with has taken his peaceful journey. I discovered this news through my online paper.(Dayton Daily)

Gerald was a great and humble person to have met through hip hop and his beat boxing skills through his crew (Fresh Crew). I had the pleasure of sharing music and breaking bread with the Williams Family as well. I knew Mr. Gerald Sr. through my few years at Harrison Radiator when I was in high school (Patterson 86). The whole Williams Family are very wonderful people to have known. I see where Gerald got his great personality.

May our Father up above continue to keep you under his caring arms in comfort. I am praying strongly for every last one of you always and forever.

Me knowing Gerald, I know he is on his peaceful journey and beatboxing all the way to the gates of Heaven.

God Bless you all,

Russell Pryor Sr.
