Roger A. Williams, Sr., 92, of McElhattan, was called home to the Lord on April 12, 2023 at Geisinger ManorCare, Jersey Shore.
Born Jan. 16, 1931, he was the son of the late Willis and Elaine Willow Williams.
Roger was an employee of the Piper Aircraft Corporation for 33 years and one of the final employees at the time it closed. Roger was also beloved at the Lock Haven YMCA for 12 years prior to his retirement.
Roger enjoyed gardening throughout his life and was a true 'Jack-of-all-trades.' He was an avid listener of his favorite music and was very proud of his "parties" at his creek home in Mill Hall. The Back Beats celebrated many memorable gatherings that remain legendary today. He also loved his Johnny & June Cash collection.
Some of Roger's proudest moments were watching his six sons excel in wrestling. He was always in attendance for their matches.
Roger was truly honored to have spent the past 71 years with the love of his life, the former Kathryn Hill, who survives.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by six sons, Roger, Jr., Kim, Wayne, Mark (Sheila), Terry (Carol) and Wade (Christina) Williams; 17 grandchildren; 27 great-grandchildren; and six great-great-grandchildren.
Along with his parents, Roger was preceded in death by a sister, Miriam; a brother, Garnet; and a granddaughter, Annie Williams.
