It´s hard to believe Ray, that it´s been ten years since you passed. You were such a good coach, mentor and friend to me. Our picture is on my wall in my office and you will always be a part of my life.

Dear Dad,
At the gravesite, they say it is the final farewell. I know it is not because I feel your spirit every where I look-in every smile I see. We had over 400 trick or treaters-Justin kept a perfect tally. It was our first Halloween all together as a family in many years-even Aldo came. Thank you for sending that Giants World Series win down from heaven. We were all here together watching it-down to final strike. I know you and Ed Moose were watching from the ultimate sky box. I miss you so much. We all do.
I am relieved there is no pain where you are-only joy and love-just what you deserve. I love you so much. I will see you soon.

Dear Carol, Ray III, Kevin & Debbie:
I was so sad to hear about Ray's passing and so glad I was able to visit him in the hospital a couple of times.
You know how much he meant to me when I was growing up. He taught me how to play first base, performed my two marriages and was a super friend for almost 50 years.However, he was never able to get me that darn hamburger he owed me.;>)I will truly miss him and will remember him always.
All the best to you,
Charlie Greene

Our sincere condolences to the Williamson family. A truly delightful man whose love of life will continue to be shared by all who had the pleasure to meet him.

Dear Carol and Family:
Ray and I shared an office for 6 years in the San Francisco City Attorney's Office. We became close professional and personal friends and friends with you and your family.
Ray was a man of honesty, integrity and fairness and he brought those same qualities to his role as a Judge.
Ray was devoted to his family, his Catholic Faith and proud of his Jesuit education. He was also a great baseball player and coach.
I was privileged to have known Ray as a friend and colleague. Also, my son Tim was privileged to have Ray swear him in as an attorney; and Ray sponsored me for practice before the Federal Court.
I will miss Ray and always remember him as a true friend.
May God give Ray eternal rest and happiness; and may you, Carol, and your family be comforted by God and the memories of a wonderful husband and father.
I will keep Ray and you in my prayers.

I knew Ray for over 50 years, I was two years behind him at SI and USF. He had a terrific sense of humor as he laughed at my jokes. We will keep Ray and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Carol and Family, please accept my sympathy for your loss. Whenever I thought of Ray through the years since we were at USF, I only thought of good things. He was a true " Good Guy ", always with a smile and an up attitude.

Judge Ray Williamson was very helpful, kind and welcoming to my children, Susannah and Mark Woerner, when we returned to San Francisco. I am grateful to him.

Dear Carol and Family, I cherish the fact that I grew up across the street from Ray on Roselyn Terrace. He had such a profound influence on me as I was growing up. He was a perfect role model for me. He taught me honesty, tenacity, and good sportsmanship. I probably played more catch with Ray than with any other person. I'm so sorry for your loss.

The Judge was one of the kindest, warmest, and classiest men I've ever been around! I feel very fortunate and privileged to have had him as a part of my life. There is no doubt he is going straight to heaven! You'll be deeply missed Judge!

To the Williamson Family,
What a wonderful and decent man that you can all be proud of. He had every quality one could hope for in a judge and I liked his sense of humor. I will miss seeing him around town, especially during the holidays. He will be in my prayers.

Carol, my condolences to you and your family. Not only have I been endowed with the friendships of the Munsterman and Hall families, but also with you and your dear Ray. We had been long time friends from St. Brigid's and SI dating back to the 4th grade.

To the Williamson Clan,
I offer the condolences of the entire Stiegeler Family, neighbors on 28th Avenue way back when. The "Judge" was always bigger than life to me and someone who I always looked up to. He always had class. I have many wonderful memories of Judge Williamson from Saint Monica's, from Saint Ignatius, and in more recent years running into him on the soccer fields of SF. I even ran into the Judge and the family in Honolulu one year! I'm very saddened he is gone, but I feel blessed to have known him.

Carol, Ray, Kevin & Debbie,
You and the world have lost a great man. My fond memories of the Judge go back more than 60 years. We had many challenges together in later part of grade school and high school. Enjoyed his many visits with you in Honolulu. We will all miss Ray. God Bless you Ray!

The world is a darker place without your smile and a colder place without your warmth and kindness. You were the definition of a decent man. I was honored to know you. "God Bless"!
To the Williamson family - I am more sorry than I can say, for the void now in your lives. My thoughts are with you, I know that you are suffering. I hope you are able to find some peace.

To the family of Judge Ray Williamson, know well you shared a life with a fine man. I appeared before him many years as a lawyer, always respectful to all sides, ruled as necessary with dignity. Always a friend, and a smile with his greetings, I am sorry to hear of his passing.
