The loss of my dearest brother-in-law is desvating news to me and my family. I have known William since my teen years. Never have I met a more kinder, friendlier, thoughtful person. I never had one second of worry about the welfare of my sister Lynette, because I knew that she was under the loving care and protection of brother Willam. A pillar of faith, a devoted husband, and a warrior for the his belief in God. "Father, make room for him oh Lord, for he is part of your family."
