With ALL due RESPECT, As the tears flow, I AM HONORED to have known such a GREAT MAN of GOD whom I Respectfully referred to as, "B.I.S.H.O.P."...ππππ
HONORABLE Attorney and Deacon Gregory E.B. Williams is the BEST Attorney I ever encountered. He was My Corporate and Personal Attorney for 30 years.
He Exhibited PROFESSIONALISM. FATHERHOOD. HONESTY, etc.
He LOVED his Wife, Children, Grand-Children and People. ESPECIALLY, F.A.M.U. RATTLERSπ
There are sooo many fond Memories that STILL make Me SMILE, even NOW. I shall NEVER forget the countless times we spent working on various cases.
Attorney Williams would share stories of his humble upbringing and Educational experiences. He was a TEACHER.
Explaining the Law both Naturally and Spiritually. DEACON WILLIAMS loved to DISCUSS and DEBATE the Holy Scriptures. OMG -- WE would go back and forth Interpreting the meaning of the Words written in the Bible. Hours would pass and HE always had the LAST word to PROVE his Theoryπ
ALSO, He was a COMEDIAN πππππππ WE LAUGHED until We CRIED. And today as the Scripture stated, "A MERRY Heart doeth Good like. MEDICINE!"
In My closing, MY Family and Children (KAYLEN 23, SAMMUEL 21, JAIRUS 20, and KAYAUNNA 15) WE are Eternally GRATEFUL to the WILLIAMS FAMILY.
RESOLUTION: May GOD's Grace be with YOUR Decedents and May the ENTIRE World know that a TRUE CHAMPION has been in Our LIVES!
Love YA Forevermore MY ATTORNEY & FRIEND HONORABLE Gregory E.B. Williams, Esq. b.k.a., "The B.I.S.H.O.P."π₯°

Our condolences to the Williams family. In the early 2000's, Everett had an idea to encourage graduating students from Duval and surrounding counties to attend FAMU. The New Student Reception was his brainchild and was hosted by FAMU J.R.E. Lee Alumni of Jacksonville. Everett will surely be missed. Wilbert & Joy Gregory

No words can describe how sorrowful I am in the passing of Deacon Williams. My memories takes me back to Dea thought provoking Sunday school lessons which left us seeing beyond what was written.

We will continue in prayer for you Evangelist, Tasha and your entire family.
My sincerest condolences to my Sister and friend Barbara and her family. Dea Williams will surely be missed but not forgotten. He had an impact on all my children, The rattler vs The wildcat, he was happy that Xaria decided to be a "rattler". I loved the passion he had for young people seeking higher education. Take your rest Deacon, you fought a courageous fight Forever in our hearts.

As the tears flow, I'm smiling too. Not too many can study and teach the Word; make it engaging; memorable; thought-provoking; and most importantly, understandable. My Rattler/Bison alum camaraderie is unparalleled and unmatched. He so loved the school that sits on the highest of 7 hills and how I will ever remember it. He will forever be remembered as an advocate for education and promoting excellence and scholarship.
Jacksonville has loss one of its best.
RIP Deac.
The Andrew Jackson class of 1972 send all their love and condolences to you and your family.we pray that God sends his comforter to bring you peace

Mr. Williams was okay as a lawyer. He got me out of trouble from time to time. We been arguing back and forth for 37 years. He's one guy that's going to be truly missed from arguing with. He was a good friend. I'm going to miss him. I can't call him no more. Mr. Terry Hall

I came to know you as my Uncle in the fall of 1982. You shared stories about the early months after I was born and years passed. You vowed then to always be a part of my life. You called me your Favorite Niece, I called you my Favorite Uncle. We burned the midnight oil together working cases. We laughed, I cried, and we laughed so more. You're gone now but I will always cherish those memories. So hold it down until I get there. I love you Uncle Greg.
Nicky Thomas, Your Favorite Niece
Missing you brother RIP (PATRICIA)
