He enjoyed baseball especially the Indians, Braves and Reds. Don loved folk music and hosted concerts in his home for burgeoning regional artists.
He is preceded in death by his parents, and his brother, Gerald R. Williams.
Donald was happiest with his children and grandchildren. He leaves behind his daughters: Susan Hathaway, and Katherine Williams; son, James Williams; grandsons: Parker Hathaway, and Spencer Hathaway. They will miss his jokes, laughter and homemade jelly.
The family will be having a private memorial service. Donations may be made in memory of Donald Williams to the Alzheimer’s Association.
Don will always be remembered for his humor and the ability to win every bridge game by knowing where every card is. When things go side ways I always use his contribution to my vocabulary … D to the fourth power. You gave us Sue, Kate and Jim, three wonderful, bright lights in this world, bless you.
