William "Bill" Robert Williamson Jr.

He is preceded in death by his parents, William R. and Hazel Williamson; brother, P.R. Williamson; former wife, Peggy Evans Williamson; daughter, Sherry Latham Culbertson (Ronnie); sons, Vincent Latham and Gregory (Bach) Latham.

He is survived by his loving wife, Betty Jean Williamson; sister, Bonnie Jo Williamson; daughter, Terri Latham Edmonds (Bob); step-son, Ronnie Smith (Glenda); grandchildren, Vince Latham, Rhonda Clark (David), Krystal Singleton (David), Rachel Schweitzer (Cam), Kristi Latham, Travis Edmonds, Heather Miller (Kenny), Casey Smith (Brittany), Levi Smith (Ashley), Andrew Smith (Heather); and 25 great-grandchildren. He also leaves his beloved dogs: Ross and Bootsie.

Bill retired with honors from the United States Air Force, and served active duty during the war in Vietnam. He also spent many years working for Atochem, from which he also retired. He was a strong, Christian man. Bill was an avid HAM radio operator – with which he communicated with people all over the world. His father worked for the University of Alabama, so Bill was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with his father at Alabama football games growing up, often from a box seat, which bred a deep love for Alabama football.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, November 8, 2023 from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. at Radney Funeral Home in Saraland, with a chapel service immediately following. Interment will be in Satsuma Cemetery. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the veterans’ support group of your choice.
