Growing up in Flagstaff with Dave and Beth as my second set of parents was such an honor. They were role models to follow, held me to the same standards as their own children, extended their love and made me very much a part of the family. Dave helped shaped my life and will be greatly missed. Thoughts and prayers to the entire Williams family. Ken Carnes

I worked under Dr. WIlliams while at the School of Hotel and Restaurant Managment in the 90s. He was the Dean of the College, I was an advisor. I came into his office early duringhis tenure there, introduced myself and then let him know that I was on my way to a treatment center for eating disorders the following week. What he said to me still moves me- without knowing much about me or my journey, he said one word: 'congratulations.' If that was not enough, the day before I left for Sierra...
