Sending my condolences to the family. Bill aka "Broke" was my godfather and a man with a mild spirit and big heart. My father, Cress and him use to love bagging on each other about which of them was more of an old man. They were childhood friends who I'm sure are reunited once again. I love you Bill and you will be missed.

Love
Tiff

I am so sorry for your family's loss. William will be missed. I remember him when I was little and he always had a big smile and was always laughing and joking especially with my dad Cress Davis. My fondest memory though is that Broke taught me how to ride a bike. I got it for my 6th bday and no one else would come outside and teach me how to ride it. He did though. I will miss him.
