So much has happen from the time of your passing til this day! Viv,
I am always thinking about Willie, especially in Sales situations- what he would do or how he would respond professionally,and in his way of giving back, showing love and appreciation of people - period. A HUGE giver! His time, and treasure!My prayers are with you Viv! Never forgotten, missed dearly! Love you forever Willie - thank you for pouring your spirit of life in me!

Willie H. Golphin- my mentor, teacher, spiritual counselor, motivational leader -my brother. You’ve taught me so much! The how too in situations that I was challenged with. Be it business, personal or spiritual. Most of all you taught me how to be the best version of myself. When you believe in something, you work for it, be passionate about it. And when you wake up in the morning, and put your clothes on, have a mind set that you are the difference maker, smile and make sure you make a positive impact on someone’s life! Behind every opportunity that looks dark, seems gloomy, there’s always the flip side that see’s the glass full, not half empty but full! You taught me to always look at things in a positive perspective. The world is filled with negativity, discouragement , and hopelessness. Be the agent of change when you meet someone because you never know what they are challenged with, or what they are going through. And you Willie, were the Agent of change! And if things were not right, you were a fighter! If it was within your power to fix it, it was fix! Period!
Oh how you loved your wife Viv! Right there by her side through thick and thin! And your boys and daughter, and especially your grandchildren! Truly a family man of God!
I miss you so much Willie G! The world is missing you a man who was an agent of change! God be with the your family as especially your beautiful wife, Viv! Some days I struggle with my own battles but I always say to myself “ what would Willie say to me “ . Pray, and if it’s within your control, fix it! Keep the hope and the faith in God that he will see you through! Fight for what you believe is right, especially with God on your side! I love you Willie! Later for now! ❤

Aunt Viv, Tish, and Jeremy my sincerest condolences in the loss of a life well lived. Uncle Willie was truly one of the greatest inspirations in my life. I often mimicked every positive attribute that I could take from him, and I have been blessed because of his love for me. That infectious smile is what I'll probably miss most, but I'll always carry it in my heart. I love you all, and I'm glad that he chose us to be family forever!

Dear Pa Pa,
I'd like to say thank you. Thank you for immediately accepting me into your family. I remember sitting in Jeremys' car and him coming back to bring me in the house to meet you and Moo Moo because he knew better than to have company sitting outside. I knew then you were a good man. You were always so welcoming, caring, and easy going. In this short period of time I learned to enjoy the little things from you. I remember last Christmas I got you socks and you were so happy. You looked at them and instantly put an outfit together with them. More recently; I remember you walking into the living room and making a grand announcement about the bathroom door lock being fixed and how happy you were. It'll be those little memories we've all created with you that will help us get through this rough patch. Thank you so much for everything words can not express how grateful I' am to have meet you. Thank you for teaching me to enjoy the little things and being so welcoming and accepting of me into your family.

Viv, as Willie would often call you, you are in my prayers. Willie was the best. I'll never forget the many times he came to Rock Hill to help me with my computer and all he would charge me would be for me to fry him some fish and we'd eat fish and drink root beer. When you did not come with him, he'd insist, "Reb., can you fry Viv some?" I enjoyed both of you. Willie contacted me last month by email to let me know he would be coming to my church soon. Blessings and peace to you.
