Ronald C. Williams
Ronald C. Williams, 79, of Northford, CT passed away on December 27, 2022. He was born on January 27th, 1943 to his late parents Harold Williams Sr. and Emily (White) Williams of Branford, CT. Ron grew up in the town of Branford with his siblings Harold (Christine) Williams, Patty (Chuck) Barbour and (predeceased by) Steve (Carol) Williams, Sandy (Richie) Armatino and Sharon (Norman) Renaldi. All of whom he missed dearly. Ron went into adulthood serving in the Army National Guard. After his Army service he opened and successfully ran several local business', then later joining Eder Brothers of West Haven where he worked for 27 years and retired from 17 years ago. He was a proud Teamsters 443 member.
Married to his loving wife, Leona (Jane) for 27 years, he also surrounded himself with his family of 7 children, 14 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren who adoringly call him Pop. He was quiet in composure but very deep in words. Always there to offer help, advise and any tool you could possibly need. He had a very green thumb and could build (or fix) nearly anything. His teaching and guidance will live on for generations to come. He also sowed in all his eclectic taste and love of music.
In addition to his wife, who never left his side, he is survived by children Ron jr. (Cathy) Williams, Barbara (Mike Bashta) Yeager, Maureen (Scott) Watson, Lisa Purificato and Sonia (Mike) Poirier. Predeceased by children Carol Kyler and Gretchen Flanagan.

Abbey (Stephen) Cochran, Sarah Pilcher, Anthony Purificato, Meghan Purificato, Zander Klein, Zoe Klein and Gia Calabrese. He also leaves behind 17 great-grandchildren, sister-in-law Mona Bellonio and brother-in-law Steve Bellonio who were very special in his life.
Per his wishes, services will be held privately. His request before passing was that everyone consider your health and the love of your family and friends and not smoke. A celebration of life will be held on his birthday by friends and family.
