John D.
John D. Williams, Sr. of Toledo, 61, born November 25, 1953, passed away on January 1, 2015, at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Toledo. He attended St. James Catholic grade school, graduated from Macomber High School in 1971 and later attended the University of Toledo. John served in the Navy from 1972 to 1976. He was an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church and Maumee Eagles.

He was a big fan of the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions and THE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES. Getting together with his sons, nephews, nieces, brothers-in-law and all the Buckeye fans in the Buckeye Room to cheer his team on is something everyone enjoyed and will keep with them always.
