Willie C. was a name I didn't know until his death. I only knew TANK! I think he felt that was his name. To the family he was a great man of god and a friend who took the time to let you know that. I will always remember him as a person who was happy in the Lord, and loved his church. I hope he will be in church in heaven doing the work he loved to do. I know the family will miss him and pray for strengh for the children who loved him dearly. Willie was sick, but never gave up on doing what he had to do. He finished his life well. Well Done my friend.

May God bless you and give you peace and comfort during the difficult time. Willie C. was a friend who expected nothing from you except the return of the friendship offered. I am thankful that he was a part of life.
