Every time I talked to Uncle Tarbet, he would end our conversations the same way he did when I was a child. He'd say. "you know I love my nieces to pieces". I tried to call and the next day received this heartbreaking news. But I know he knew how much I loved him too. Sending much love and comfort to Aunt Joyce, my cousins Marc and Randy, my dear mother Bonnie and any other family and friends who knew and loved this gentle giant. I will miss him very much...Naomi

To the family of Target Williams praying God will give you peace and comfort. It always was a joy being in the presence of Tarbet. Laughter and much love! Singing in the choir was his passion. He'll be leading all the songs in that heavenly choir. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
