So sadden to hear of William’s transition. Such a pleasant and generous guy. We shared many fun times and fellowship at the National Funeral Directors and Morticians annual convention s for many years. My sincere condolences to his family , and my friend Beal. William blessed my family with a beautiful pictorial of my Mother’s Funeral in 2017. Rest in Peace . Until Then !
Our deepest sympathy and may the PEACE of GOD that surpasses all understanding bring comfort to ALL now and forevermore. Continual prayers 🙏 for All.
Claudine and Gene (Gingles) ,
Having been born one year and one day apart Baby Brother was probably my best friend growing up on Robinson Tract. I want to express my sincere condolences to both of you and the extended family. My last conversation with William (Baby Brother) was an exchange of Thanksgiving greetings. We had not seen each other in years but kept in touch via text and phone calls. He was always sending pictures mostly from our days at Calfee. I will miss those exchanges. Please be comforted knowing that your brother is a treasure because of the memories he created.
