Remembering Dr. Byron Williams, 12 years since his death, still fondly remember him for all of his wonderful works. Blessings are sent to all of the families of Dr. Williams, may they take comfort in knowing he was an incredible man

Dear Dr. Williams and Mrs. Williams, I just learned of his passing today. He was my doctor from 9 months of age until I turned 18. After that, I worked in his office as the back office nurse. He was so kind as to offer me employment, when he learned I was left to raise my 8 month old daughter, by myself. I was in such a bind with no husband and no means of support. Rosemary Goulet, R.N. taught me so much and was my inspiration to get my R.N. So many memories of the office, the fish tank, the animal cookies! Also remember Mrs. Williams, who came to the office on occasion and she always looked stunning! You could see Dr. William’s eyes light up when she came in. He was such a wonderful Dr. Sad that time marches on. They don’t make many Dr.s like him anymore.

Dr. Williams was my doctor from birth through my teen years. I have fond memories of his office and his kind, caring nature. I remember looking forward to getting animal crackers at the end of my visit and have a special memory of being given an entire box on my birthday. He was a special man.

Thinking about you so much this month as the 8 year mark is coming up. I miss you and mom always, but key dates are so much more difficult. I love you always.

Dr. Williams always made me feel better! I never wanted to outgrow his care & I think he understood that "his children" never wanted to leave him because I do not remember being turned away as a young adult...

I was happy to discover that his daughter was practicing in his office when I felt compelled to stop by once. Now, I am happy to learn that Dr. Williams & his wife also enjoyed the beautiful Central Coast in retirement. My parents moved to Arroyo Grande in 1987. I feel blessed to have had my parents as long as I did, but nevertheless my loss is profound as I imagine yours is...

I am eternally grateful that your father, Byron K. Williams, MD shared his care (humor, compassion & love) with so many children & I am deeply sorry to learn of your profound loss!

Love you, Dad!

I was so fortunate to have known and worked for Dr. Williams for several years in the '60's and early 70's while in college. To this day, I tell everyone that he was the original Dr. Welby. I remember him as one of the most compassionate and loving professionals I know. I still treasure the silver tray that he and Gracie gave us for our wedding and think about how excited he was when he told me that he had bought Gracie a new Mercedes and had a huge bow put around it. I will keep the family in my prayers and may the Lord bless and keep you all until you come home meet your mom and dad again. With fond memories, Maria deZarraga Wale,

Daddy, We have all been thinking of you so much lately. I have told so many people in conversations recently about your always forward thinking in your practice of medicine. You have been such a constant and positive role model in all of our lives. We love you and miss you and Mom everyday. I know you are happily together now and that gives us comfort.

Dr. Williams was my family doctor from birth until I turned 18. I still have fond memories of his office and how well he knew all the details about our family and lives. Despite vaccinations and all things scary to children, we always felt comfortable in his office. From blowing out the light on his scope to the animal crackers upon departure, it was always a fun trip.

This is such a bittersweet note to have to leave.

Godspeed, Dr. Williams.

Thinking of this great and wonderful man.

Daddy, we hope you were waiting on the Banks of Jordan to welcome Mom on her transition. That is what makes it tolerable for us to lose her. But is has always been Byron and Grace and should always be Byron and Grace so we are envisioning and embracing a new reality for you. We love you both so much and take hope and comfort in the idea that you two are together again.

Missing you Daddy and hope you are close Mom needs you now. We love you and miss you every day.

In remembering your birthday, 3/7, your name and wonderful memories continue to fill our lives.People and situations in our lives always evokes your name, always with warm feelings inside me to follow. Thank You for all the wonderful things you did for the thousands of us privileged to know you.

Thinking of you a lot during this week following your birthday and remembering so many birthdays past. We miss you and love you so much.

Thinking of you tonight Daddy and thanking you for all our wonderful memories. I heard O Holy Night at the gym today and could hear your bad deep baritone. We miss you more than you could imagine but are so proud to have been your kids.

Ourdeepest condolences to the Williams Family.We were very blessed to have found such a Gentle,Kind and Warmhearted pediatrician for our 3 children when we moved to USA from Auckland,NZ in 1975. He made each child feel Very special as an individual.We all loved him and he will be missed by the Singhs.

Dr. Williams was a wonderful man, who I had the pleasure of knowing as a friend and also as the doctor of my three children. I'll never forget what he told me when as a typical first time mother, I was worried because my son wasn't potty trained yet. He looked at me and in his calm, reassuring way said, "I've never had a patient go to college in diapers." With his subtle sense of humor, he was able to instantly put my worries to rest. He had a way of calming a frazzled first-time mother.

Dr. Williams was an incredible role model for his children and his children's friends. I feel blessed to have had the friendship of the Williams children for close to 40 years, and appreciate the fact that Dr. & Mrs. Williams always made me feel incredibly welcome in their home.

As one of five children who grew up with such fondness for our own (and I really did think he was ours alone) Dr. Williams, I was so sad when my mother called to tell me of his death. Such good memories of the man who cared for us - and for our own children - for so many years. And as Mom reminded me, a wonderful source of comfort and support for a young mother of five active kids. God bless you, Dr. Williams. We know you have a great seat up there.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Dr. Williams family. He was the greatest doctor I have ever had the blessing to know. He was not only my pediatrician when I was born but was also the Pediatrician to my first two children. I will never forget his kind manner and caring personality. I remember the animal crackers and the toy box in his office. He always had a smile for a frantic parent and a kind word for the children. The world has lost the kindest man I have ever known. May you find comfort in the knowledge that he was loved by all.

I was saddened to read of Dr. Williams death. He was very supportive of me when I was at a bad place in my career. He was a very special person, and gentleman. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

We will miss Dr. Byron Williams. He was my Peditrician when I was born. He was such a big part of my Childhood. Always taking care of my sister and two brothers. We were always seeing Dr. Williams for something. I can still remember the office on Ventura Blvd and the boxes of Animals cookies. If I was good, he'd give us the whole box. My mother said that Dr. Williams saved my life. I was around 10 years old when I had to come home from the beach early one day, Violently ill with a fever above 104. I was terribley ill. Dr. Williams saw me that day and was quick to diagnose me with Spinal Meningitis. He then ran some tests and acted quickly, this was in the early 60's. He knew just what to do and what was best for me. Dr. Williams said that I would be better off staying at home rather than being in the Hospital. There's something you don't hear now a days. My mom took me home and Dr. Williams called her everyday and made house calls twice a week or more as needed. I was sick for almost three months but I got better. Dr. Williams cared and was always there for us. Thank you Dr. Byron K Williams. You are a great man, and a great Doctor... The entire Bomar Family will miss him dearly. God bless him and his family.

Dr. Williams was our Physician, our neighbor and our friend. He has been instrumental in shaping my familiy's physical and emotional health. I have had the good fortune of being able to see him many times over the years as I have stayed very close to his wonderful family, particularly my dear friend, Lori. Dr. Williams' kindness and sense of humor will be deeply missed, but he has left his indelible mark on so many of us. Much love to his family.

Dr. Williams will always be remembered. He was my son's pediatrician and we were so blessed to have him in our lives. God bless him and his family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the William's family. Dr. Williams was our pediatrician for not only my brothers and I, but my cousins and then of course the next generation of kids. Dr. Williams saved my brothers life back in the 50's. We loved him. I was so upset when I got older and had to go to another doctor. My fondest memories were always the animal cookies he had after we got shots. What a lovely, gentle man! He made a very special mark in life. He was loved by many and for his family it should be a great comfort to know what a well respected gentleman he was. All the best to you. With much fondness,

Our condolences to all the Williams' family on the passing of Dr. Williams. He was not only my pediatrician for 16 years, but my son's as well. Dr. Williams was the only doctor my mother and the majority of our neighbors and friends would even consider taking their children to. He was simply the best. Over the years I have met other former patients that also would only entrust their children's health to him. He has an enormous fan club even today. I am nearly 60 years old and I cannot pass a store display of Animal Crackers without thinking of Dr. Williams and Miss Goulet, the nurse. She always gave us our shots and one day I asked Dr. Williams why he never gave the shots and he smiled and said "I don't want to be the bad guy." Miss Goulet didn't say a word. I still recall the waiting room, the Little Red Riding Hood art, the fish tank in the dividing wall, the "Highlights" magazines. Dr. Williams will forever be remembered by those of us fortunate enough to have been in his excellent and loving care. God bless you all.

To all of Dr. Williams family-He was the BEST-physician, teacher, boss,friend,grandfather, father and husband. This is a lesser world with his death. God Bless You All. Caryl Lee Bullock, parent and RN.

You were by far the best person as well as the most gentle pediatrician God ever created. When I was very young and sick, you would always be ever-so-gentle and caring. You even allowed me to be seen when I was 21yrs old and well past the pediatrician stage! You will be greatly missed but never forgotten. May God hold you tightly in His arms and may He give strength to those left behind who will one day join Byron. Thank you. Dr. Williams for your love, care, and the gentle human being that God created!

Three generations of the Ybarra family will miss their gentle and caring physician. Thank you Dr. Williams.

Dear Grace,
I am sending my deepest condolences for your loss.
Byron will be missed by all who new him.
It will be a difficult time ahead of you. Be sure that you stay close to your family for support.
I lost Pete on Sept 5, 2007 due to his Alzhmeimer's almost two years ago now. I still miss him so much. If I did not have my girls and the GrandKids I would not be able to get through the long days.
I pray for your strenth in this most difficult time.
Much love to you,
Elaine Keller
