He is survived by his wife, Lillian; three daughters, Cherlyl, Judith, and Patricia, all at home; his mother, Mrs. Lillie M. Williams, Chicago; four sisters, Miss Ruth Williams, Chicago; Mrs. Jean Johnson, Waukegan, Ill., Mrs. Carol Williams, Arizona; and Mrs. Dorothy Mae Peterson, Sacremento, California. His father and two brothers preceded him in death.   Mr. Williams was a member of the Gladwin Methodist Church, Methodist Men's Club, Gladwin Rotary Club, and Masonic Lodge of Munising. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 2 o'clock at the Miner Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Ross E. Tracy officiating. Interment was in Highland Cemetery. Pallbearers and honorary pallbearers were Rotartans and business associates.
