Papa Tony will truly be missed. He loved his family deeply and I had the honor of being called family. We shared laughter, joy, and even tears. Papa Tony will always have a place in my heart. I love you family and I pray for peace and comfort for you all.

I've had the God given pleasure of sharing laughter and many enjoyable family times with my big brother in Christ. I thank God for those times and take joy in knowing that you knew the Lord and He received you unto himself. I give God glory for sharing you with us here in earth. Your labor is over, rest in your mansion!

So much can be said about Pops. A father, provider,friend, an example of what a God fearing man is. He made us laugh, corrected us when needed, but most of all he made us feel loved and important. He will be missed but definitely not forgotten.

Phyllis and Philip,
You know I'm praying for the peace and comfort of God to dwell in you always. I will miss Tony as well, you all treated me and my family like a part of your family. You all opened your home and your hearts. We shared so many laughs with past and present stories, and Tony's loving way of joking with us. Now he is in a new home, making God's angels laugh too. Love Always, Joyce McKinley (Maryland)

All the words in the world would not be enough to say how sorry I am for your loss.
I am thinking of you and hoping that the memories of Tony give you strength at this sad time. Tony was such a fighter.

It felt like I knew Mr Tony through the stories that Mrs. Phyllis would come to work and tell us all the time. I would always smile and ask how he is doing. You and your family are in my heart and mind. I offer you my thoughts, prayers and well-wishes during this time.

Ma Phyllis, and Philip,
Though this is a big fray in the fibers of the family's heart God and the love from those closest are more than enough to get us through this tough time. Dad Tony or Pops as we call him, lives on through us from the wisdom shared, to the many many jokes and laughs, to physicals blessings you both have given (clothes, meals, babysitting, birthdays etc) Pops will always live through us and this family by way of all he's imparted and instilled over the years. He's probably cracking jokes with Jesus talkin bout "ah man" lol. Love y'all and most definitely are here for anything.
Love Elbie Williams III (Trè)

Despite the loss of the physical presence of Mr. Tony, we know that God has assigned him to watch over you (Phyllis/Philip) throughout your life. May fond memories of your relationship with Mr. Tony bring you comfort during this hard time in life.
Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact that you were able to share these before he passed away. My heart and prayers go out to you and the family.
