We will miss Richard, especially at the Rodeo. He was a dear friend and co-worker when we were on the Facility Services Committee.

Richard was a talented Architect , Vietnam veteran , and truly a gentlemen. He was always in a good mood, no matter the situation . My condolences to the Williams family for their loss.

I met Beanie in 1960 working at JHM Grocery store in West U. He had a two door Ford hardtop. When I was 14 and Beanie was 16 he took me to get my learners permit in that car. We both served in the military and after we were discharged we became roommates from 1968-1970. He was our best man at our wedding. As young married couples we spent many weekends playing cards and eating tacos. Time has moved on and we haven't seen each other as much as we'd liked but we've remained close friends throughout our life. We will miss Beanie (Richard M Williams).
