My Dear Uncle Golf - My heart is heavy and saddened by your sudden passing. I am thankful to God for the 40yrs that I had you in my life. The Williams Family will never be the same. I miss you so much but God had other plans and now its time for you to rest. I can see you smiling and saying "Roc Roc dont cry". You are one of the most kind hearted people that I know. You and mom werent just siblings - you were close friends. Now it is time to say farewell to you whom I always referred to as "My Handsome Uncle"....Rest on...Love Always "Roc Roc"
