Harold Wilson Williams Jr.

Harold Wilson Williams Jr. of Cool, CA, was surrounded by several members of his loving family when he went to be with his Lord and Savior on October 9, 2015. He was born on October 25, 1927 in Chicago, IL. Harold has now been reunited with his beautiful wife Alice who passed on November 14, 2014. They met at Valparaiso University in 1949, married on July 30, 1950 and shared a great love.

In addition to being a devoted family man, Harold accomplished much in his life. He served in the U.S. Navy during WWII, graduated from Valparaiso University and earned two masters degrees. Prior to his retirement, his work with Lockheed included contributions to NASA's space program. Harold also founded and served as editor of an international engineering publication, Reliability Review. His Christian faith was his highest priority and he was an active member of First Lutheran Church in Placerville, California for many years, serving as their Outreach Leader. In recent years, he also enjoyed the fellowship offered by Cool Lutheran Church's congregation.

Harold is survived by his children Brian Williams (Michelle), Celeste Cook (Don), Lauren Wells, Christi Niemann and Reggie Williams (Carla), plus 15 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren, and his sisters Beverly Tallon and Darlene Bruzas.
