Philip Boxley Williams

Philip B. Williams of Williamsburg passed away peacefully on April 26, 2017. A lifetime resident of Williamsburg, Phil was an avid supporter of William & Mary football and the Baltimore Orioles, and had gained a wide following at Holiday Cadillac Chevrolet. Phil will be remembered for his great sense of humor, zest for life, and encyclopedic memory of trivia. Phil cherished his friends, family and time at the beach, especially Cabo San Lucas. Phil was a stranger to none and a friend to all. He is survived by his brother, John W. Williams, Jr. (Bill); his sisters, Frances W. Davis and Martha W. Gray; nieces Sarah D. Long and Kathryn D. Brigger, and nephew R. Gordon Gray. He was predeceased by his parents Betty B. Williams and John W. Williams, Sr.

A celebration of Phil’s life will be held Sunday, April 30 from 4:00-6:00pm at Nelsen Funeral Home in Williamsburg. The family requests that in lieu of flowers a contribution be made to William & Mary Quarterback Club in Phil’s memory. Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.nelsencares.com.
