You will be dearly missed. You were one of my grandfather and parents' most treasured friends. You had a gentle and kind heart. I'll see you by the River some day.

JC, thank you for being such a great friend to my PawPaw Herbert, and my parents Connie and David Williams. Thank you for being another man I could look up to when I was growing up. I laugh now at how many men I thought were my grandpas. You was definitely one of them!! I have nothing but good memories of you and love you so much. Rest in Peace, and please hug my PawPaw Bert and Georgie for me!!!!
