HARVEY WILLIAMS Obituary
Harvey B. Williams, Jr., M.D. (Age 86)
Died peacefully, January 9, 2020, at home, having received the sacraments of the Catholic Church. He was born on June 5, 1933, in Chicago, the son of Harvey and Marie (Gallery) Williams, the 7th of 12 children. His surviving siblings are Virginia Uphues, Larry, Dick, and Mike Williams. He is survived by his 15 children, Meg (John) Hanlon, Harvey (Cathy) Williams, Jenny (Bob) Zichelli, Karen (Kirt) Hardy, Theresa (John) Wegand, Cathy (Rob) Hanselmann, Rose Bivens, Rita (Dan) Callahan, Franny (Brad) Rock, Joan (James) Eccleston, Jim (Jenny) Williams, Sue (Chris) Reilly, Liz (Michael) Grier, Nancy (Pat) Miggins, and John Paul Williams. He is also survived by 75 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren with six more on the way. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Joan, and his second wife, Anne. He graduated from the Loyola Stritch School of Medicine in 1958 and was a General Practitioner, primarily serving the people of Woodbridge, Virginia for 49 years. His faith in God, membership in the Catholic Church, particularly as a member of Opus Dei, and being a good husband and father were the most important aspects of his life. He left his children a wonderful example of faithfulness to "run the race so as to win it." Funeral arrangements are as follows. Visitation on Wednesday, January 15, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home, Fairfax, Virginia. Mass of Christian Burial on Thursday, January 16, 10:30 a.m. at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 5121 Woodland Way, Annandale, Virginia.

I grew up in Woodbridge and I fondly remember Dr. Williams making a home visit when I was very sick with Rubella when I was five. His gentle kindness and concern will always be remembered. My sincere condolences.

Dr Williams was my doctor my whole childhood until I was 19. I always remember him being kind and compassionate. He was the best and set the bar high for all my doctors going forward in life. I am now 52 and have never found another like him. May he rest in peace. My deepest sympathy and prayers to his family.

I remember the first time my husband went to see Dr. Williams he told him to blow his nose in a Kleenex because he wanted to see the texture and color. We knew right then he was going to be a great doctor and he was! Rest In Peace Dr. Williams! My sincere condolences to the family!
