Boyise Tom Williams, Sr. affectionately known as "Big Jack" was born in Camilla, Georgia, to share birthdays with his mother (Granny) on April 19, 1939. The "spitting image" of his father in looks, and the love of the game of baseball, (Our Daddy) would watch one game on TV and listen to another game on the radio at the same time. These proud parents are the late Willie Tom and Bertha Lee Williams. He was educated in the Mitchell County School System.

He confessed Christ at an early age and joined St. Peter AME Church in Camilla, Georgia. He was inducted into the United States Army November 1956 Fort Ord, California and Honorably Discharged back home in 1958.  He then matriculated to Trenton, New Jersey in 1966. He and his family moved back home to Camilla, Georgia in 1983 where he joined the Christian Life Fellowship Church in Baconton, Georgia. under the Pastoral Leadership of Willie Pearl Chandler.  After his stroke, with the blessing of his leader, he became a member of Majestic Kingdom Embassy in Camilla, Georgia, under the leadership of his children Drs. Timothy & Pamela Miller.

He was united in marriage to Annie Doris Silas on June 27, 1959.

Boyise was an entrepreneur, a man of many hats and trades (pulpwooder, truck driver, construction worker, and club owner). He loved to cook, work in his "Ragu" garden, watch westerns, play bid whist, spades, five card stud, entertain family and friends through food, and an explosion of laughter; but his game of life was "Baseball!" He was a team player with the Ga.-Fla. Negro Baseball League in the 1960's. He played and managed the game of baseball over 45 years. He wasn't selfish to the game.  He played ball with everybody Camilla, Pelham, Itchaway, and Baconton. He took his love of the game to New Jersey playing and managing the Infamous Trenton Dodgers.  Yet he played in Newark, New Jersey as well. He was loved by many always willing and helpful to whomever he met. His presence will truly be missed.
