Friday November 3rd at his home after a lengthy illness. Richard was the
son of Virgil and Catherine Williams, who preceded him in death.
He lived around Fall Branch for most of his life. Richard was honored
to serve in the Navy for over 10 years, and very honored to have been a
Navy Seal. He was also proud to have been a Washington Co.
