I am praying for the family of Chaplain JC Williams. He was always a gentleman. And he always had an encouraging word for those of us who were junior to him. He was a credit to his God, his country, and the Chaplain Corps.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. My family loved and deeply cared for the William’s Family.
Phyllis and I are praying for the family. In gratitude, we thank God for Chaplain J.C. Williams, his love, leadership and care for the Navy chaplains he recruited; and all he led and mentored over his exemplary career. His Navy contributions cannot be measured in words nor metrics. He was my esteemed mentor.
We offer our deepest sympathy to the family and this great man of God will be truly missed.I will never forget what he has done for me. I am a better person just to have known him. Til we meet again.
Dearest Eleather, James, Angela, and Lisa,
Although the earthly loss is great, I believe your husband and father was a godly man of principles, and I look forward to seeing him in Heaven where he will truly be honored.
My prayers and love are extended to each of you during this difficult time, but God will see you through.
Blessings and love,
Your cousin, Joyce Robertson

Sending our heartfelt condolence to the Williams family
Dear Angela & The Williams Family,
Our hearts were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our beloved Pastor, Rev. J.C. Williams. He will be remembered for his extraordinary love, spiritual guidance and the faith he demonstrated, especially during the turbulent years of the Civil Rights Era. He was at the forefront and his leadership was vital here in Anderson, S.C. and throughout the state of South Carolina. We, at Royal Baptist Church were honored to follow a pastor who exemplified moral fortitude and grateful for his inspirational messages of hope and encouragement during his tenure. His legacy as Pastor, had a profound impact on the members and friends of the Royal Baptist Church.
With Heartfelt Condolences, Much Love and Prayers
