WJ and I worked together at the Morgan County Sheriff's Department many years ago. We had a blast serving warrants and transporting individuals from one county to another. He was a great man and he always kept you laughing! WJ, job well done here on this side, take your rest and looking forward to seeing you again my brother!

I am praying for Willie James' family to trust God to keep them at this time of mourning. I first knew Willie James from my childhood when he and my brother John worked at Schnadig (International ). My mother would make lunch for them, and he would always tease me by calling me "the Secretary". I don't know why he chose that nickname, but I cherish it just the same. He was always pleasant, and I will miss his warm smile. Rest well, Brother, in the arms of the One who created you. Carol Williams Smith (aka the Secretary)
Sending our sincere condolences and prayers to the family and May God comfort and keep you all through this difficult time! 🙏🏽
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
