I didn't know him but I knew Willie T. I thought Willie was a great man. When I was a boy about 12 he became pastor of the Providence Church in Smithsboro. He drove a panel truck and had chairs in the back. During church on Saturday night his stepson and I would sneak in the truck and smoke. Do you know the surname of his last wife Margaret? And his stepson. I am thinking it was Ronnie. Willie T descends from Black Sam and I from Red Sam. JB Francis Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
