A profound loss to the mental health community. I met Mr. Williams when he serviced students in the school district of Lancaster. He made connections that would help students cope with their difficulties. I was so impressed that I asked him to take on my autistic son, Mekhi as a client. Condolences to the family. Mr. Tyrone will be dearly missed.
