Frank was a good friend of my Dad´s since their USAF days testing H-bombs at the Pacific Proving Grounds in the 1950s. I met Frank later in life and always enjoyed our conversations - a most wonderful man. My deepest condolences on his passing.

I loved Mr. Frank Williams as I only knew him for about 7 years. He hired me many times to work around his home in Hoover. I used to love talking to him each time he hired me! The more I worked then the more we talked about everything from God to NASA to just everyday small talk. I was amazed at his accomplishments and his humbleness at the same time. I will miss him.
