Herbert Williams Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Herb proudly served in the United States Army before embarking on a 25-year career as a police officer with the Millville Police Department. His commitment to the safety and well-being of his community extended beyond his police work, as he also served as a school resource officer for the Millville Board of Education, where he positively impacted the lives of countless young people.
Herb's love for music was well-known, and he was an avid singer who found joy in performing with barbershop quartets. His voice and spirit brought happiness to many, and his passion for music was a testament to his vibrant personality.
Herb is survived by his devoted wife, Barbara Williams, and their loving children: Tommy (Roberta) Williams, Chuck Williams, and Mary Jo (George) Joh. He was a proud grandfather to Tommy Williams Jr. and Nash Joh. Herb also leaves behind his cherished sister, Ruth Williams Shindel Waterhouse, and many nieces and nephews who will fondly remember him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Dorothy Williams.

My first memory of Herb date back 55 years ago when he was directing Christmas traffic at High & Pine in the pouring rain...I handed him a warm cup of coffee as I passed by and from that day forward we were friends. He took pride in being considered stern and grumpy, but under that facade he was a wonderfully kind and considerate gentleman with a marvelous singing voice. May he rest in peace in that rocking chair he always teased me about. My deepest condolences to Barb and his family. ~~ Jan Thomas

I was saddened to learn of Herbs death.
He was one of the GOOD GUYS, and was respected by Paul and all the other officers he served with.
It will take a while to get used to your new role as a widow ( I'm still working on it after almost 15 years!), but you are in my thoughts and prayers, and those of many others.
God bless you and your entire family.
Sincerely, Judy Lokey
