Keith Williams' Obituary
Keith Austin Williams, 76, of Lorain, Ohio, slipped silently and peacefully into the dawn on November 3, 2010. He finally shook himself free of the shackles of Lewy Body Disease that for too long had imprisoned him mentally and physically, whereby his will could not be done.
Upon graduating from Oberlin College and The University Of Chicago Law School in 1960 he was hired at the then First National Bank of Chicago into the trust department where he was shortly thereafter appointed as one of the youngest Vice Presidents in the bank’s history.
After moving to Geneva, Illinois in the late 60’s he spent most of his free time rehabbing a turn-of-the century home. An avid do-it-yourselfer he believed that nothing was worth doing if it wasn’t done correctly.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth and Lillian, brothers David and Christopher and youngest son Scott.
He is survived by his loving wife, Nancy, caring son Rob (Linda and daughter Lori) and a multitude of loving in-laws, nieces and nephews and long time friends.
His greatest wish for donations to be made in his honor would be for each and every one of you to cherish what precious little time you have with those you love and with whom love you.
Arrangements were under the direction of the Dovin and Reber Jones Funeral & Cremation Center,1110 Cooper Foster Park Rd., Amherst, OH 44001. Online condolences may be left for the family at www.dovinreberjones.com
