Williams, Sr., Edwin was a graduate of Howard University, Catholic University, and University of Wisconsin Neurology under eminent physician and neurologist, Francis Michael Forster, M.D. Edwin later served as a Captain in the U.S. Air Force in Japan as a medical doctor before moving to Los Angeles in the early 1960's.

An active member of Good Shepard Catholic Church, Edwin will be missed by his wife Joyce, his sons Christopher and Colin, their spouses Vania and Sanne, and his grandchildren Kai, Anouk and Isabella.

He was a brilliant physician and a joy to know. His sense of humor was legendary. I'll never forget the night we stayed up watching a "Mad Max" marathon!

Just looking at Ed's picture, you can tell what a sweet man Ed was. He made the perfect doctor as he really cared about people. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to his loving family, especially to Joyce who took such loving care of him since he started having health problems
