Watt, Sr. and Thelma Williams. He earned Eagle Scout, graduated from Emory University, served in World War II and earned the 33rd Degree Mason. Charlie traveled extensively, enjoyed a passion for foreign languages, read prolifically, reveled in history, followed politics, and loved entertaining with his magic tricks. Charlie and his wife, Maidie, were members of Northside Independent Methodist Church for 35 years and the backbone of the church choir. Charlie's life's passion was ABC School Supply, Inc., the company he founded in 1949 in the family garage. ABC continued to flourish with its showroom sales, but it was the annual catalog distributed internationally that Charlie produced with his heart and soul. Survivors are his soulmate, Maidie Williams; his children, Holly Coleman (David) and Randy Williams (Amy); Maidie's children, Chris Vierling (Ed), Lianne Driver, and Alan Akin; nine grandchildren and two great-granddaughters.
