Mr. Williamson was a wonderful neighbor in Fallsmead. He used to go out jogging in the morning, pick up his neighbors newspapers and bring them up to their front doors. He was always cheery and upbeat. He will be missed! Ron Honberg, Rockville.

Uncle Jim, as known to my husband's family, was a fun, outgoing, kind, and words can't describe this man because he truly was one of a kind and he will be missed greatly. Since I've know him, at family events, etc., he always had something great to talk about & he really loved his Washington Redskins. The Christmas parties will not be the same without him! My heart goes out to all of his family & friends & especially Aunt Doris, whom I know will miss him a great deal. God Bless him & may he RIP.

I didn't know Captain Williamson very well but I thought he was a very nice person ... even though he beat me at tennis (even though I was 23 years younger!). I wish I had been able to spend more time with him.
