Dan Williams

Our husband, dad and grandpa, Dan L. Williams, went home to be with his heavenly Father Monday evening, May 19, 2014 at 9:30 P.M. with family and friends singing praise and worship songs to him and the final reading of Psalms 23rd and Mathew 28. Love you, see you someday in heaven.

Dan was born July 1, 1941, in Logan County Ohio, to the late William McKinley and Esta Louise (Detwiler) Williams. He was also preceded in death by a sister, Mary Ann Williams; his brothers, Donny, Paul “Sock” and Bobby Gene Williams, and a brother-in-law, Raymond Stokes

On August 7, 1959 in Harper, Ohio, he married the former Dorothy “Bea” Helzer and she survives in West Liberty, Ohio.

A member of the Zoning Board for Liberty Township, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and flowers. His most precious joy were his grandchildren.
