In Memoriam… Ken Williams

Ken Williams
June 23, 1946-November 23, 2010

Ken Williams spent 20 years in the Marine Corps Reserve as an infantry officer, including a year in Vietnam (1969). He is a graduate of Mercer University, Georgia State University, and the American Military University. In his
military career, he served as a nuclear weapons courier, a Marine Corps platoon commander, a company commander, and was Director of the 8th FASC, USMC. A software designer and computer industry executive for 25 years, he had to retire in 2006 due to an accident.
On Tuesday, November 16th, Ken took a nap…and peacefully died in his sleep. He is survived by this wife of 38 years, Margo, and his daughter, Kelli Williams Tolbert, and son-in-law, and Scott Tolbert. Kelli is expecting Ken’s
first grandchild, a little boy, whom he was planning to spoil completely.
Rest in peace, Ken…if anyone has earned it, my friend, you have…
