Rev. Williams and his wife Jean were such a blessing to us at Washington Farm UM Church! He was like a father to me, and I was blessed to experience the youth group and to be organist under him. He later walked me down the aisle and married my husband and me. Eventually, Rev. Williams baptized all our four children. He was God’s gift to so many on this earth, and I know his light is shining in Heaven. Love and God’s blessings to you and your family, dear wonderful soul.

Pastor Williams baptized me at Washington Farm UMC. He was a great pastor and inspiration on how to live a Christian life. Those who knew him were better for it. God Bless.

Rev. Williams was the finest minister I ever knew. He made Washington Farm United Methodist Church a small part of godliness on earth. His calm, wise manner touched everyone and he led with the grace of Jesus. The world was blessed by his soul, his words, and his walk. Thank you, Jean, for sharing him.

Mr. Williams has a special place in my heart. He was the Minister at Mt. Vernon Methodist in Caroline and did the funeral service for my Papa (Kenneth Lindsey). He also officiated my wedding. He was a wonderful man. God bless.

Rev. Williams was such a wonderful, wonderful man of God. He married my husband and I almost 33 years ago. And, was our pastor at Aldersgate. He will be deeply missed. I know he is looking down on us from Heaven. God bless Jean and the family and bring them peace and comfort during this very difficult time. God bless them all.
