Paul Christopher Williams
Passed away peacefully on December 19, 2024, surrounded by his family and his love Mary Lawler. Paul was born on May 5, 1964, in Endwell, New York to Norma Marie and Francis Joseph Williams. He was the youngest of eleven children. After graduating from Maine Endwell high school, he studied at Johnson College of Technology, Scranton, PA. After graduation he moved to Philadelphia to work with Boeing for 24 years. There he met and lived with his life partner Mary Lawler, Prospect Park, PA.
Paul (aka Buckwheat) was not a man of few words nor a lazy bone in his body. Always up for an adventure whether hiking the Berkshires with his brother or helping another brother with a cross country move, or body surfing on the waves of Rehoboth Beach. Always up for good music and dancing with family and friends. He also was magic in the kitchen, especially with seafood, all of us have memories of his creation during our family reunions.
I know everyone, has a story, and all will not fit in this notice, there will be a memorial in Philly in the spring, no date has been set as of yet. Though I imagine many more memorials will be held at local sites of his wonderings.
