Paul was a wonderful husband, family man and friend to all who knew him. He enjoyed watching the old western and detective shows. Paul liked nice cars and keeping his vehicles shinny and clean. He also loved traveling and spending time with his “Sweets” (Mrs. Williams). Paul could always be found sitting on the porch ready to have a good conversation with his family and friends. He was well known in the neighborhood and everyone loved him, he was a great man. Paul also could be found in his garden or working on his lawn, he just loved being outdoors. He was always helping his family, friends and neighbors. Paul was always a great person and anyone who knew Paul knew that. He always looked out for his neighbors. Before his health declined Paul would cut the grass in the summer and in the winter he would use his snow blower so that the snow would be cleared early in the mornings. Paul Williams will be sadly missed by family and friends, but never forgotten because in our hearts he will always be there. We will always remember Paul saying “Let me see, let me see, let me see”. (Paul’s favorite saying). He leaves to cherish his memory: wife, Katie Mae Williams; daughter, Sally Steward of Chicago, IL; sister-in-law, Ida Mae Hardy; brother-in-law, John Earl Hardy; a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, other relatives and friends including special friends, Mr. Willis, Mitch, Willie Palmer.
