Herbert Williamson Obituary

Herbert Ray Williamson Jr.

March 1, 1928 - October 24, 2024

Herb passed peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by his family, on the morning of October 24th. His wife of 73 years, Jo, preceded him in death on October 8th. He was a lifelong member of the Masonic Lodge, and an avid waterfowl/upland bird hunter. He loved his family and his home.

He was a good man, a good husband and a good father.

He is survived by his two sons Herb of Spokane Valley WA and John of Rainier OR.

Not a day will go by that he is not missed.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I worked with Jo at the Oregon Bank in the late 70s. She was a very caring, loving lady and she truly loved her family. I am sorry to hear of her passing, and Herbs.
