Daniel Arthur Williams

Passed away on Friday, September 3, 2021 in Wildomar, California; he was born on May 4, 1946 in San Diego, California to the late Daniel and Helen (Hansen) Williams Sr.

Dan served his country in the US Army from 1965 to 1967. He was a printer and graphic designer for 30 years. Dan was the nephew of a baseball great Ted Williams and he loved telling people about his famous uncle. Dan loved R & B music and his favorite artists were Richard Berry, the Robins, Arthur Lee Maye, Big Jay McNeely, Marvin Phillips and many others. Dan and Janet were members of the Doo Wop Society of Southern California and went to their first show in 1989. Dan was so happy to meet in person the music artists he listened to on the radio as a teenager.

Dan’s parents divorced when Dan was 2 years old. He knew that his dad had remarried and that he had 2 younger brothers somewhere but didn’t know how to find them. In 2003 at a Ted Williams event in San Diego, he met his brother ted for the first time. He met his brother Sam a while later. Even though the 3 brothers did not grow up together, they found that they had a lot in common and even chose similar careers.

At a DWS show in 2005, he and Janet discovered a more recent vocal group, Kulayd and have been following them ever since.

Dan and Janet met at a church event in Hollywood in 1968. They both arrived early for the event and started talking and found out they both grew up in San Diego and had gone to the same eye doctor and dentist, they married in 1971.

Dan was the most kind and caring person you will ever meet.

Dan is survived by his loving wife Janet; his sister Julie Aboud (Chandler, AZ) and his brother Sam Williams (Susanville, CA).

There will be a graveside service on Saturday, September 18, 2021 at 10am at Menifee Valley Cemetery at the Sunrise mausoleum.
