Deacon Williams I just don’t know how to put into words the appreciation I have for you and Mrs. Rudine. Never saw you down always helping at church or accompanied Mrs. Rudine on her outings and always smiling. I am forever grateful for you as I can’t remember a memory at Union Baptist that you are not a part of. Love you.
Our heartfelt condolences to the Williams family, Mrs. Rudine, Vincent and Gerald. In your time of sorrow may God’s presence bring peace and comfort as He gives strength for today and hope for tomorrow.

I was fortunate to be able to hire Herbert at DSS when he retired from the Social Security Administration. I was just thinking about him recently; but did not know how to get in touch with him. He was a great employee and a genuinely nice person for whom I had great respect.
