Ty P. Gilliam, I've known you since 1995. Met you at the sun valley mall parking lot when Alex signed off on your apprenticeship. It was 94 or 95, but we have been really good friends over the years. You have taught me things, advised me, even educated me. There are many many things I'm going to miss about you. For one the phone calls of you ordering stuff to eat, especially those big oatmeal cookies with the big raisins in them. And there were times I'd do the same and you'd just laugh. You truly are going to be missed. There are 2 people in the industry that was really close to me, Mr, Riolo, Mr, Stewart that have since passed. Now you are the 3rd. You were there for me when my son passed in March of 2020, There are too many times we have supported each over the years and there was never a dull moment. The time you rode to Truckee Tahoe Mortuary back in 2001. And you vowed to never ride with me again, But you held on to that ham sandwich, Ty you really are going to be missed. This really was a huge shock when Bishop K.M. Weaver gave me the news of your passing. I thank God I had and took the opportunity to take you out to one of your favorite places to eat for your birthday. And we have a real good time just talking about the industry and you were ready to move out to ATL. There are just too many good great times over the years. I thank God for our friendship. All of the Instagram DMs, we always had each other laughing at other people's funny issues. You are a one in a Billion friend and there will never be another TY P. GILLIAM....Rest on bruah
