It is with sorrow and gratitude that we mark the passing of Jeff Williams, 68, — sorrow at the loss, gratitude for the life.
A life remembered begins, simply, with the telling.
Jeff entered this world in 1955 — the start of a journey that would span 68 years.
Few who serve speak of it freely; those who knew him understood.
