OBITUARY
James Terry Williams
October 7, 1950 – September 9, 2018
James Terry Williams was born October 07, 1950 in Ruston, Louisiana to the union of J. C. and Annie Cooper Williams. He was the youngest son of five (5) children. J.T., as he was affectionately known, departed this life on September 09, 2018 at his home in Houston, Texas. He was preceded in death by his parents and infant son (Terrance Williams). James accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. He was educated in the Lincoln Parish School System where he played baseball and was a graduate in the Class of 1968. He was academically outstanding as a Grambling College student and later moved to Houston, Texas. James was an active member of the Fountain of Praise where he worshipped weekly with his wife and honored God with his life and service to others. James retired from Anderson Greenwood after thirty-five (35) years of service. In retirement, he became a real golf enthusiast. He was proud to announce his three times/week golf schedule, his daily dinner dates with his horse Apache and his every weekend schedule at their beach home with his wife Brenda, where they welcomed family and friends. T. loved to have a good time and he and his wife traveled the world doing just that. We are certain that the Tom Joyner Cruise will forever be short changed because of his absence. He leaves an abundance of memories that will be cherished by: his lovely wife Brenda, two beautiful daughters – Chenire Craig and Stacey Williams, two grandchildren – Floyd “Q” Craig, IV and Eleanor Williams, three sisters – Rev. Bettye Phifer, Nettye May and Shelia Foley, one brother Benjamin Williams (Johnnie-Faye), two brothers-in-law - Leo Bowers, Jr. and Rickey Bowers (Jimmie) and a host of other relatives and friends. His memory will linger with many of his nieces, nephews, cousins and life-long friends. His family and friends will forever remember his special gift of generosity and kindness.

We enjoyed hours on the golf carts at the beach, even with an occasional breakdown. I loved James' company and will miss talking with him under the beach house.

JT will always be remembered for his humility, kindness, and generosity. As one of his golf friends, we will miss him dearly. His friendship and competitive spirit made the time we spent with him most enjoyable and rewarding. Rest-in-peace dear brother, and all love and condolences to his family.

As a former employee of Anderson, Greenwood & Co. from 1979 to 1992, I interacted with J. T. on several occasions. He struck me as a man of substance and strength. It was therefore with deep shock and sorry that I received the news of his untimely death. We have lost a truly great man and we share in your sorrow and pain. We will hold your family in our prayers.

I joined Anderson Greenwood in 1996 and worked closely with J.T. all the way up to his retirement. He was a good man, a good friend and co-worker with a heart of gold. The world is definitely a smaller place without his presence. My heart felt condolences go out to his wife and family during this difficult time.

May God Bless and comfort your family during this time. JT was my Supervisor when I first started working at Anderson Greenwood back in 1999. He was always polite and a professional individual whom I loved working with and for.
