To the Williams family, this is hard to see and read, knowing this man, was a great leader, pastor, father, uncle and most all DAD! When we would visit the church, he would make us sit down along with his kids, and he was scary at times, but he would make laugh so hard. He will be missed a lot. He called me My Granny's twin. As a prayer warrior; I will continue to keep the family in my daily prayers. Love PCP!
