Uncle Gene you are missed dearly. To know you was to love you. You were an awesome dad, brother, and uncle. You made single parenting look easy. You definitely rocked. God judges man upon the heart and you definitely had a heart of gold that's only one of the many reasons I know you're in a better place. I will never forget the times that you helped me. I love you and miss you. Love, your niece.

To his children, I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Gene was TRULY a GREAT father and Grandfather. He was a perfect example of what a father should be! To his siblings, sorry for the loss of A GREAT brother. Gene was a Sweet Loving man, from the moment I was introduced to him in 1995, he welcomed me with open arms and a smile as his niece. I will always remember him saying something and laughing after. I had the honor to be in his presence during some of the last weeks of his life and he still had a smile on his face. May God give you all the Strength to face the difficult days, weeks and months ahead.
With Sincere Sympathy,
Martha Lindsey Williams

To the family of Mr Williams, I was a student of his in middle school. I have always remembered him encouraging me to not give up when I was stuck on a problem. I pray that you have the necessary strength and peace as you prepare to say "so long" to your father, brother, grandfather, etc. He was a wonderful example of educational excellence, and he tried to instill that in his students. Thank you for sharing him with his students, Jacqueline Lyles Kersey DHS 82
