In Memory

John Wesley Williams

John Wesley Williams

Our classmate,John Wesley Williams was born on July 20, 1942 in Virginia to Hubert Wilson Williams  (1905 - 1979) and Grace Elizaabeth Newsome Williams (1919 - 1978).  He had  three brothers:  Hubert Wilson Williams (1938 -1979), Adam Lee Williams (1946 -1997), and Fred Wayne Williams (1949 - 1972).  We don't know much about John's life other than he graduated from Reynolds with us in 1962 except that he served in the U.S. Army in 1970 and was discharged a year later, then served in the U.S. Navy.  John died of stomach cancer that spread into his lungs on June 8th, 1973 and is buried at Woodland Cemetery in Winston Salem, NC.   If anyone can furnish any more details about John Wesley Williams' life, we would be most grateful.  You can email them to me at dantferg@aol.com.

     The Class of 1962 sends its condolences to John's family and prays that John is resting in peace with the  good Lord holding him closely.
