' Richard Leroy Williams of Clemmons died on June 27,
2019. •
He was bom in Severn, Md. on Aug. 23, 1944, to the
late Robert Emery and Carlean
in Baltimore where he pledged
He was then drafted into the j
U.S. Army, and served in Viet- f /
nam from 1969-1970 as a Spec I 1_^—
5. After being honorably dis
charged. he graduated from The Pennsylvania State Uni
versity with a master's degree in business administration.
In 1974, he became employed with IBM in Manassas, Va.
After retiring from IBM, he was employed with the Lock
heed Martin Corp.. also in Manassas, from which he retired
in 2010.
In 1984, he was married to his wife Sharon. They were
blessed with one son, Rick, and resided in CentreviUe, Va.
until 2010, moving first to Advance and later to Clemmons
He had a great sense of humor, and was always quick with
a joke. As one of nine children, he had many targets on
which to perfect his craft of pranking. If he had something
funny on you, he never missed the opportunity to retell (or
better yet, re-enact) the story, with each reiteration becom
ing larger and more embellished. This continued through
out his adult life, as he can recall countless corny "Dad"
stories and jokes.
He loved sports, and as a youth he played for the Severn
Pirates and Severn Wildcats sandlot baseball teams. As an
adult, he learned the game of tennis, and played for many
years, even teaching the game to Rick. He was a life-long
Pittsburgh Steelers fan and expected nothing but perfection
from the team. If the team was having a less-than-stellar
' year he threatened to "dump the bums" and find a new
team, but this never happened.
He was a devoted husband and father. He loved support
ing his son's musical endeavors, being a proud "pit crew"
member for his son's high school band. Even in his sick
ness, when asked what his biggest accomplishment in life
• was, he said it was his son.
Survivors: his wife Sharon; his son Rick (Hana Kom-
