Mr. William Lee Brice, Sr., was born on December 2, 1928 to the late Alberta Bullock. He entered into eternal rest on Monday, May 17, 2004 at the Medical College of Georgia.

While in New York, he was a member of the OZONE Park Block Association and he retired from Adelaar Brothers after fifteen years of loyal and devoted service.
He was united in Holy Matrimony to Betty Monroe. Of this union, three beautiful and loving children were born.
Willie leaves to cherish his loving memories: wife, Betty Brice, Jamaica Queens, New York; one daughter, Diane (Henry) Jones, Augusta, Georgia; two sons, William L. Brice, Jr. and Steven (Darleen) Brice, both of Jamaica Queens, New York; one sister in Greensboro, North Carolina; five grandchildren, Omeka F. Brice, LeAnder (Tanker) Brice and Amber A. Brice, all of Jamaica Queens, New York, Rashad T. Brice and Joel Brice Jones, both of Augusta, Georgia; one nephew, Jerome (Wilma) Patterson, Jamaica Queens, New York; a host of cousins, other relatives and special friends.

$oem (Scripture)
John 11: 23-26 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the last resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this.
Daddy, Granddaddy, fear not you shall live again. Soon we shall all see each other again in the resurrection and life.
Author, Jesus Christ Respectfully Submitted by, Diane Brice Jones
