SYLVANUS T. "VANNIE" WILLIAMS

Vannie, the small amount of time I've got to know you seemed like a lifetime. I think about that weekend we all kicked it, man I had a ball I never laughed so hard. And them burgers you made lol we thought you set a fire up in there...they was bomb tho.I enjoyed every bit of your presence. The love you had for my friend goddaughter and your family showed every min I was around there is no doubt the love you had for them. Thank you for being that Great Father to J. Thank you for being there...

Wow.....I don't know where to begin with trying to put any of this emotion into perspective. I have been down with Vannie and family for a long, long time. The one thing I can say first is that Vannie was real. He was such a genuine and sincere person which is so rare. I remember him at maybe age 10 with his pretty eyes and patch of gray hair and I always asked Marv about his patch of gray. He always stood out as being his own person. He didn't want or need to be a follower. I remember back...

I still can't believe your gone, I've been waiting on your text and still haven't receive it. To have a friend/brother like you was very special, you was always there when I needed to talk and you alway gave the best advice possible. I want to thank you for all the fun times we had growing up, we truly had some good times on plaza when my mom was at work. You will always have special place in me and my family heart. Thank you for your words of widsom and your heart of GOLD. I will never find...

i didn't get a chance to know u very long but everytime i saw u everyone around u was happy... ur little sayings was always the funniest... and i will never forget about all the times i was taking pictures of the family how u always made me take 20 different pictures cuz u didnt like the one i took previous. even tho most of the time the one u picked was the first one. u was a very respectable man and loved ur kids dearly... RIH Vannie ur missed in our house and lots of others alot

I wanted to be like you when I was a kid, yo homeboys called me little Vannie until sir was born....I been a father to your children like u asked me years ago treating them as my own children....I feel an emptiness knowing I will not beable to see you grow old....when u departed apart of me left this earth with u...its hard to except the reality that u r gone from this earth....my life will not be the same without you.....I love you big brother

My uncle Vannie was an awesome uncle! I remember how much he loved Keisha Cole, my moms chicken, his family, and saying "is that right". He had the longest dreads ever that everybody loved. Although he's gone now, I know he knew we all loved him and we all know he loved us.
