'''Willie J. Junior''' ([[1942]] - [[2004]]) was a prominent African-American businessman, founder of the [[Junior Funeral Home]], and the first black member of the [[Escambia County Commission]]. He was removed from office in [[2002]] for his part in the [[soccer complex corruption scandal]], in which he took a $90,000 bribe from fellow Commissioner [[W. D. Childers]] to vote on a County land purchase later deemed inappropriate. He was convicted on corruption charges, but disappeared before being sentenced. His body was discovered on [[December 9]], [[2004]] under the home of a former employee.
