Ruddy, we have had many ups and downs. We still remained true to God and then to ourselves. We love each other more than anyone else could have loved. Thank God he made us for each other and we are blessed. Then, He blessed us with 4 strong sons, 2 beautiful daughters-in-law, and 4 adorable grandchildren. Thank God we know God; I know I will always miss you very, very much. Your “Roses� - Daphne Williams, wife

To God be the Glory To God be the glory, great things He hath done, So loved He the world that He gave us His Son, Who yielded His life an atonement for sin, And opened the life gate that all may go in. Chorus Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people rejoice! Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, great things He hath done. Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, To every believer the promise of God; The vilest offender who truly believes, That moment from Jesus a pardon receives. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done, And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son; But purer, and higher, and greater will be Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
When we all get to Heaven Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed He’ll prepare for us a place.
Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving every day; Just one glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay.
Chorus When we all get to heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We’ll sing and shout the victory!
Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we’ll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open; We shall tread the streets of gold.
While we walk the pilgrim pathway, Clouds will overspread the sky; But when trav’ling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh.
How Great Thou Art
O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed Chorus Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art! When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. Chorus When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow with humble adoration, And then proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!" Chorus

A solid picture of humility, who loved us unconditionally and was proud of us always. I loved talking with Daddy and already miss his calls. This is for you, Dad – Isaiah 45:10 Dennis Williams, first son
He never held a grudge neither had a malicious bone in his body. I am extremely proud. Remember this dad? https:// youtu.be/tMWis8cDc1Q “WHEN THE MISTS HAVE ROLLED AWAY” Mark Williams, second son
Journeys with Dad
Coffee or tea? He made one of the two for me daily. Sometimes too hot, sometimes tasteless – Altogether made with love and affection. Daddy, strolled down the walkway to the revving car. I watched and smiled – “Why rush?” “Morning,” I said. “Morning,” he returned. “Yuh alright?” He smiled. “I wish it were a Friday,” I smiled. He got in. He attempted to buckle his seat belt. “Cho’ man! Dis ting ere yuh see?” He grumbled. “Calm down, daddy,” I said. Click. He sat back. We were off. Richard Williams
What my Dad Taught Me… The many walks we took together around our neighborhood. The long phone conversations about politics and current events. The engaging smile that could disarm anyone’s anger or frustration. Dad, you have taught me a lot, like what real manhood is. Hint: it’s not about machismo or raised voices or secret handshakes. My Dad was a master at being kind to people. Kindness, that’s what my Dad taught me. I miss you, Dad. See you on the other side. Maybe when I get up there, we’ll take our long walks again…all around heaven… all day. Your youngest, Roger.
I was blessed with one of the most wonderful, humble and loving father-in-law, ever created, DEACON RUDOLPH WILLIAMS, of Miami Gardens, Florida and Bridgeport, St Catherine, Jamaica. He treated me like his very own daughter, which made me feel very special. When it comes to being grandpa, priceless! I will surely miss him singing the old-time hymns with my kids, his encouragements, being the family’s walking bible, his rice & peas and his infectious laughter. Dad is gone, but by no means forgotten. I am celebrating a life well spent for the Lord, so rejoice with me even if I have to shed a tear or two. Ronda Benaine-Williams (Daughter-in-Law)
Grandpa Our
Grandfather, no farewell words were spoken; no time to say goodbye, but you have left an impression that cannot be erased. The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. (Isaiah 57: 1&2)
Kayla Williams; eldest granddaughter
I will miss your calls, it was awesome also when you weren’t sick and we talked, get the mail and watched baseball together. So, thank you for being the best, Number 1 grandpa! Love you!
Warren Williams; youngest grandson
Grandpa has always been my ‘go to person’ and role model who showed me how to live for God. He always called at least once every day. He represented what it means to live a holy life without anger and spite. Grandpa is probably the calmest person I know. I will miss you Grandpa.
Zachary Williams; eldest grandson
My grandpa has always called and talked to me either every day, or every few days. I would look forward to talking with him, even though he might ask the same questions like: what’s the weather and how was my day, and I wasn’t annoyed by it. I would look forward to his call. It will be sad to know that I won’t get those calls anymore, but I do know, that I can just think about the happy times we spent together. I loved grandpa with all my heart, singing, talking and laughing with him, when he would come to visit. I will always cherish the memories of my grandpa in my heart everyday! ANNE, with all my love!
Annelise, youngest granddaughter
My Condolences to you and the family. I fondly remember him in his suit, singing in Church. RIP Bro. Williams. Erica Crawford My condolences…I never forgot Bro. Williams. He was like a father to me, in the short time I knew him at Bethel. Sis. Ann Marie Bryan-Case Another soldier has gone home, we’ll meet on the other side. Sis. Rachel Richards Condolences to the Williams Family from the Brown Family. I remember him as a child, teaching my siblings and I Bible Studies in our living room; making sure we understood the Word of God. Bro. Christopher ‘George” Brown Even though we were so far apart we will never forget him. Sis. Monica ‘Sandra’ Bailey My condolences to the Williams Family. Awesome man. RIP Bro. Williams. Sasha ‘Sheryl’ Crawford-Walker So sorry for your loss. He has run the race, he had kept the faith, finished his course; gone home to be with the Lord. RIP God Loves you best! Sis. Althea ‘Smitty’ Smith We are indeed very sorrowful to hear this news. Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with the family. Sis. Rumena Samuels My condolences to you and family. Brother William was my Friend he is at a better place. God bless his soul. Sis. Maureen York–Simmonds My deepest condolence to you all. Sis. Beverly Foster Bro Williams was a very polite, yet firm defender of the faith and its tenets. He was an avid church historian and steadfast teacher of why we did what we did in the church of Jesus Christ our Lord. He was uniquely capable of edifying church service congregants, a Sunday School, or Bible class on the link from church origins to current era and through to the study of the end times. Bro. Williams did all of this with strong conviction, and stood ready to explain to the unlearned, and firmly defend the faith against skeptics. His knowledge and ability to rightly divide the Word of Truth, combined with his meek mannerism made Bro. Williams an effective defender of the faith, and a blessing to the body of Christ. Bro. Paul Samuels (McKinney, TX)

Keep the faith. II Timothy 4: 5-8
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
