Raymond Burgess Williamson

Raymond Burgess Williamson, born on July 31, 1928, in Driftwood, Texas to Buddy and Alice Williamson, passed away on October 3, 2014. He was preceded in death by his parents, 3 sisters, and 4 brothers.

Ray spent his childhood on his family’s ranch and farm. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army, a veteran of the Korean War, and a respected businessman in Austin, Texas, opening American Floors on South Congress Avenue in 1965. Ray sold his business in 1985 and built a farm and ranch in the Ozark Mountains where he spent some of his most joy filled years.

Ray retired to Spicewood, Texas in 1995. It was here that he became a respected member of the Spicewood Church of Christ. Ray was a loving husband, father, Papa, and friend. He taught his kids, by example, how to work, how to laugh, and how to have fun, which are the greatest lessons a father can give.

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Betty Williamson, his children and daughters-in-laws David Williamson, Damon Williamson (Cathy Williamson), Gaynell Blanchard, Donald Blanchard (Blanca Blanchard), David Blanchard (Sonia Blanchard), 11 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.
