My sinceret condolences to the Williams family and to you Jesse. I know you were very close to your mother and the loss is felt deeply. My prayers are with you. Orice, Im sorry for your Familys loss. It feels like only yesterday we where hanging out in your folks kitchen before Tour or Pratice. Your mom frying fish and your dad sitting at the table looking for supper. Your Dad was a good man and raised you well and in turn you will raise your kids the same way. They will know him through all of your stories you can tell them, after all to know you Orice is to have known him too. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. In the relatively short period I interacted with Oval, he definitely earned my respect and was an impressive man. One of my favorite memories of him is the enjoyment he got out of waxing the car in the back yard while enjoying some cold beverages, something that I would love to do, but never seem to find the time. Sincerely, David Bibb Posted by: David Bibb at October 29, 2008 05:50 PMLeonard & Peggy, Tina, Most sincerely, I never had the pleasure of meeting your father Orice, but I feel as if I knew him through you. His strength and strong will are examples of what a great man he was. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. With all my love, Kelly Anne Good Posted by: Kelly Good at October 29, 2008 08:59 AMAlthough I didn't know your father well, I feel like I did through all the stories I have heard through the years. In addition to being an incredible father and grandfather, it was obvious he was resilient in spirit as well. I am so glad that we had the opportunity to meet him and I am so sorry for your loss. Paige, Edward, Cooper and Grayson Hannah Posted by: Paige Hannah at October 28, 2008 05:26 PMHe was such a wonderful and inspiring man who always greeted me with open arms. Please know that your family is in my prayers during this difficult time. Suzette,Shelton, and Wells Laney Posted by: Suzette Laney at October 28, 2008 04:49 PMPost a condolence
