He was born Feb. 10, 1926 in Fullerton, Ky., the son of the late Cecil Paul and Elsie (Richardson) Williams Sr.

In 1961, he was promoted to assistant vice president and manager of the personal loan department and was elected to the bank's board of directors. He was then promoted in 1968 to vice president of Hillsboro Bank and Savings, retiring in 1988. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Hillsboro.

Surviving are his wife, whom he married April 20, 1945, Pauline E. Wilkin Williams; his children, Lynn (John) Raitz of Goshen, Jeanne Reinbolt of Sidney, Joan (Leonard) Neeb of Galloway and Mark (Lisa) Williams of Hillsboro; eight grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.

What an amazing man with a beautiful soul. I got to really know Paul over the course of a few years and I am blessed for the time, conversations, history, advice, and guidance I recieved from Paul. I enjoyed spending our time in the spring discussing gardening and trading all our little tips and tricks, always making sure I got you one of our early tomatoes to ensure you had the first one on, before you family. Thank you for all the wisdom and knowledge you shared, you will forever be one of my inspirations.
