Known as Ken, Kenny, or even Willie during his time in the Navy, he was born January 16, 1941, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Ruby Irene Norris and Donald Roy Williams.

Our family was so very blessed to have this wonderful man in our lives. He was the soul-mate to his wife for 54 years. He adored her and cherished their time together. He was the best Dad ever. He never missed any of his children's sporting events; in fact, sometimes he was umpiring those events. He was always the loudest, most supportive parent in the stands. He was the best grandpa (Papa) to all his grandchildren. He was such a kind, caring and loving man. We love you and will miss you every day!!
