CLYDE E. WILLIAMS, JR, died March 7th, 2014 at his Shaker Heights home, at the age of 94.
He was the husband of the late Ruth Williams (nee Van Aken) and the son of the late Clyde E and Martha (Barlow) Williams. Clyde was the father of Mark V. Williams (Janice), Sara W. Parish (David) and the late Clyde E. Williams, III; he was the grandfather of Mark J Williams and the brother of Thomas J. Williams (Lowell) and the late Samuel B.

He grew up in Columbus, OH. Though he became legally blind at a young age, with great determination and hard work, he graduated from Denison University in 1942 and Harvard Law School in 1945.

He was a world traveler, but enjoyed spending summers at the family home in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
