Phillip Lewis Williams

Phillip Lewis Williams passed

away peacefully on

November 18, 2012 after a

wonderful life of 90 years. He

was a resident of Pacific

Palisades for over 50 years

and was a devoted husband

to his beautiful wife, Jane and

great father to his four children.

Phillip was born in St. Louis,

Missouri in 1922 where he

attended St. Louis Country Day

School. He earned his BA from

Harvard College and MBA from

the Harvard Business School.

He served as a destroyer officer

in the US Navy during World

War II and the Korean War.

He served on the USN Dortch

from 1943-1945, which saw

action in the South Pacific at

the battles of Iwo Jima and of

Leyte Gulf and was in Tokyo

Bay for the surrender of

Japan. As a naval reserve officer,

he was called back to serve in

the Korean War. Phillip began his

business career with the

Owens-Corning Fiberglass

Corporation from 1948 to 1959.

After serving in management

positions in New York and

California, he joined The Times

Mirror Company in 1969 from

which he retired as

Vice Chairman in 1993.

He was a leader in the business

community and in his many

philanthropic endeavors.

One of his greatest joys was

mentoring others and seeing them

achieve their goals. He lived life with

honesty and integrity and loved

his family more than anything in the

world. He will always be remembered

by his family and friends for his

sense of humor, generosity and

pursuit of fairness in life.

He is predeceased by his wife,

grandchildren, Steven Sandorf,
