Allan Silvio "Al" Williams

Avere un santo dalla propria parte

Dr. Williams was a wonderful mentor, professor and friend. As my colleague at APSU there was hardly a day we would meet at the copy machine that he did not serenade me!! His presence leaves a void in the Clarksville community and beyond. My prayers are with the family.

His exuberance will be missed. Every time I saw Al Williams he was on top of the world. In fact he sang to me loudly and clearly in a local restaurant not too long ago. He will be missed.

Miss Martha
I will always miss Mr. Allen.Nobody could sing and make me laugh as he did.My prayers are with you. Love Betty Boo from Wal-Mart.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Williams death. He always brought such joy to my heart, when he would come into Walmart and start singing to me. The both of you were so very kind and loving and I will miss him greatly. I will keep your family and you in my prayers and thoughts.

May your beautiful spirit live on, and the wonderful songs you serenaded us with play on in all of our hearts. Thank you & Ms. Martha for making our day almost daily. Your Wal-Mart Family #673

Dr. Al was an inspiration to a lot of students at Austin Peay, and will be missed. I had nothing but the utmost respect for him.

Gosh, what a guy! It was apparent in my first class with Dr. Williams that he was one of a kind. Also, he was on my graduate committee in 1976, along with Dr. Milton Henry and Dr. Preston Hubbard. He encouraged me in my writing and in my career. After my retirement from public schools, I was fortunate to see him at retired teachers meetings, until I moved to Kentucky. And Mrs. Williams.....he married VERY well. Frank Egbert

Martha,
We will all miss AL. He could lift the spirit of every human being. I loved the way he used to break into song and make you feel so happy. He was good and kind and caring and we will all miss him.
