Williams family,
Mr. Williams was always in good spirits even when that annoying kid down the street would come over and cause trouble with his son, eat all his food, and try to sneak his beers. He was a good man and we'll miss him. I'm sorry for your loss.

Ronnie was a brother that I never had, he came to see me when I was sick and took me for rides, he was a loving and caring person, he will be truly missed but as I cross the Chesapeake Bay where we fished for Tog and drank beer. I will always look at the island and see Capt. Ron sitting on the bank with fishing pole in one hand and a beer in the other. Also all the stories that he told me that made me laugh and cry. We shall meet again. RIP my Brother
