Theodore Williams Obituary
Theodore Williams, 76, passed away suddenly at his home in Hudson, Florida, on February 10, 2026.
Born and raised in Endicott, New York, Theodore carried his hometown roots with him throughout his life. One of his favorite places was Cayuga Lake, where he found peace, enjoyment, and many cherished memories over the years.
He was the beloved son of Harold and Marion "Buck" Williams. A devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, Theodore's presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by his two daughters, Cindy Harder (Brad Harder) and Kristine Knapp (Kenny Knapp). He was a proud and loving grandfather to Cindy's children-Anna, Adam, and Austin-and to Kristine's daughter, Victoria McCreary (Justin McCreary). Theodore was also blessed with three great-grandchildren, Adalyn, Elliott, and Emmett, the cherished children of Victoria and Justin.
He is survived by his brother, Harold Williams Jr., and his sister, Patricia Illsley. He was predeceased by his sister, Nancy L. Hilliker. He also leaves behind several nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members.
In his final years, Theodore made his home in Hudson, Florida, where he shared his life with his companion, Anne, who remained faithfully by his side, along with his beloved dog, Axel. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life-spending Sundays watching NASCAR, tinkering with cars, and talking about all things life with his grandsons. His love for family, his steady presence, and his warm spirit will be remembered always.
A summer Celebration of Life will be held for family and friends, with the date to be confirmed.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Theodore's memory to the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
Theodore's memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
