One Condolence for John Wesley Williams, Jr.

  • My father was very loved by my children, spouse and me. He accepted Greg when he met him as if he was a son of his. I remember the time I worked with him and the conversations we had between us. He baptized all of us kids and was very religious. Will miss you dad.
