Scott Williams Obituary
KELLY'S ISLAND, Ohio -- Scott J. Williams, 46, formerly of Tewksbury, Mass., died unexpectedly Dec. 11, 2010, on Kelley's Island in Ohio.
He was born in Lowell, Mass., Dec. 31, 1963, to Alfred M. and Shirley M. (Peters) Williams.
He grew up in Tewksbury, Mass., and graduated from Shawsheen Valley Technical High School. His career took him to New Hampshire, Vermont and then Michigan, where he owned and operated Electrical Surveyors, Inc.
He enjoyed traveling, hunting, fishing, camping, watching movies, rooting for the Detroit Red Wings and, most of all, he loved playing his guitar and listening to music. His black Lab, Blitzen, was his constant companion. He had a heart made of gold, gave the best hugs, and will be missed so much by his family and friends.
Family members include sisters Sandra W. Gardner of Westminster, Mass., Linda W. (John) Dillon of Old Saybrook, Conn., and Midge W. (David) Smith of Merrimack, N.H.; aunts, uncles and many cousins.
IN HIS LIFE: He was the cherished uncle of and was adored by Scott and Keri Gardner, Craig and Cole Dillon, and Matthew (Megan), Kara and Kyle Smith, and great uncle of Evie and Deacon Smith.
SERVICES: A memorial service will be held in the spring. A memorial fund has been established in Scott's name through Fender Music Co. Those wishing to donate may visit online at www.fendermusicfoundation.org/donate.

Have alot of good memories but especially around Christmas. Scott always showed up wearing his Santa hat. Also have a Chistmas ornament he gave me with a picture of his dog blitzen.

To the Family of Scott: Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Scott was great guy and will be missed by many on the island. He did have a big heart and would help anyone who asked. I have copy of last decembers island newspaper that has a picture of Scott on the front in a santa hat singing Christmas carols. He taught us to eat lobster and recently played guitar at a mutual friends memorial in October. The island won't be the same without him.

To Scott's family:
I had the honor of really getting to know Scott this past summer and miss him very much, from the silly phone calls after the season on Kelleys wound down, or all the crazy summer days, Scott was always someone we could all count on no matter what. My heart grieves for you all and I am so sorry for your loss, a loss to all that knew Scott. He spoke often of all of you, and Susie as well. I know he was right with God and is certainly smiling down on all of us from heaven. I'm looking forward to meeting you in the spring on the island... and as Scott always said... Keep the faith!
P.S. Simone and Meadow are ok and are with me, they have been since mid-summer :)

I grew up a few doors down from Scott on Rhoda Street and have memories of when we were younger. My mom still lives there and we still refer to the house Scott grew up in as the Williams house. I am very sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers.

To Sandi, Midge, Linda and families - I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Scott other than meeting him at Sandi's wedding, but I feel I knew him because he was spoken of so often with love. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To Sandy, Linda, Midge and families, the Pages want to express our care and concern about the loss of your brother Scott. We never had the pleasure of knowing the adult Scott, only the boy Scotty next door. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
