Burt Williams Obituary

Burt K. Williams, age 96, passed away peacefully January 30, 2021. Burt was born and raised in Mt. Carmel, PA and was a graduate of Mt. Carmel HS. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the AAF and served as a Gunnery Sergeant with the 8th Air Force, 389th BG, 567thBS stationed in Norwich, England. We would like to give special recognition to the courageous men and women of the French Resistance who facilitated his safe return to England from Nazi occupied France. Burt and his late wife, Jane (Egan) were graduates of the University of Delaware. They raised their family in Hudson, where they were long time members of Christ Church Episcopal. Burt was a member of Hudson Masonic Lodge #510, a Mason for over 70 years. Burt was preceded in death by his wife Jane, brother Jack, and sister Letha. He is survived by his daughter, Ellen (Steve) Lombardo; son, Keith (Luann); grandchildren, Andrea (Anthony), Steven, Marie, Morgan (Jessie), and Keira; three great grandchildren; his sister, Naiad of TN; and sister-in-law, Eleanor of NH. A private graveside service at Markillie Cemetery will be held at a future date. Condolences and special memories can be shared with the family online at www.heritagecremationsociety.com.

God Bless our friend. We hope to see Burt some day - a long with our other friends and family that are a part of the faithfully departed.

We first met Burt in 1979 - when we joined Twin Lakes Country Club. It was always enjoyable being around Burt - good conversation, lots of laughs, golf and a few cocktails. We moved to Tennessee 15 years ago and as a result didn't get to see Burt very much. In recent years we made a point of contacting Burt when we were visiting the Stow area - getting together for lunch on a few occasions. Our sons and daughter in law also knew Burt and enjoyed his company. God Bless our good friend Burt - a great guy. Tim & Gayle Harteis
