To the family, we are so very sorry for your loss and we pray for your strength and comfort through this time. JW had such a big heart even to all that knew him through business. He was always looking to connect people to opportunities and each other. He masterfully saw things as a puzzle and had such great vision and great big thinking. Always ready to give a word of advice, you never felt he was bothered or burdened to spend his time with you. Out of all of his accomplishments he was truly most proud of his children. Not having known you all I feel like I did because he had so many stories and updates, pictures, and excitement for his family. God bless you all as you not only mourn his absence but forever remember the best of a man that truly gave his best. - With Sympathy, Sorrow & Gratefulness, Rachel K Ofori & Family
