He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Gladys Robinson Williams, son Carroll Lee Williams III, daughter Krishna Williams Abbott (Lester), daughter Caroline Westbrook Williams, granddaughter Kaitlyn Marie Williams and great grandson Tarren Allen Williams. He also leaves behind two sisters: Jean Rose Williams Gill and Elaine Williams Lane (Warren), and many beloved nephews and nieces. A celebration of life with military honors will be private.

Poppy, You will live on in our hearts forever. I will never forget what you taught us. It's never wrong to help someone. You lived your faith as I watched you help many people over the years. Now that I'm an adult, I know how truly blessed I was to have a wonderful and wise Dad like you.
Love you always, Kris

I remember the first time meeting Mr.and Mrs. Williams, I´d just started in business and put an add in to the Richmond Times Dispatch, Mr Williams called and asked for an estimate, little did I know it would lead to years of working projects. He often talked about his contracting years and his love for the Lord. Mr Williams you will be greatly missed. Thanks again for the chance!!!
