A good-by to a good friend
A man who touched many is dead!
Back Mountain residents were shocked last week at the news that
Charlie Williams died in his sleep early Sunday morning following an
illness.
Charlie loved people. He had enduring qualities and a special genius for
making friends. He never turned anyone down. A tip to a fellow bowler, a
word of encouragement to a frustrated golfer, advice to a friend, Charlie
was always willing to extend himself when needed.
Hundreds of friends and neighbors took the time to say their last ‘“good-
by’”’ to Charlie last Tuesday evening. All of them at some time or other
had been touched by this kind and considerate man.
Nothing can be gained by recalling abounding incidents, there can be no
way of guessing the correct number.
Charlie was a good man, a proud man, who loved his family, friends
and community and his God.
Charlie was a genuine, sincere person devoted to every person he
touched in the Back Mountain community. He always had a smile, he
never lost patients nor uttered a caustic remark.
There is not a man or woman touched by Charlie Williams who isn’t the
better for having known him. He has passed this way to a better place.
His memory will remain with us forever!

Junior High School recently held a
