"Goodbye To An Old Friend"
DONALD WILLIAMS

Donald Williams CLASS OF 1954

DONALD "BRUSH" "SPORT" WILLIAMS November 4, 1935 - March 13, 1999         It's been a year since my friend Donald left this world for a better place. He was known by a number of names, but "Brother" is the one I like to remember. Our friendship started in Atlanta High School and lasted throughout the years.        We didn't get to spend a whole lot of time together in later years, because we had our own families and commitments, but the friendship was always there. Brother Donald committed to God and served him for about 30 years in Southern Baptist Churches in the East Texas area.        Through the years we occasionally talked of having a reunion that included our class'. The last time we spoke together in December 1998 Don was not in good health and then passed on to his reward in March prior to our class' reunion in October of 1999. It will be a short time before we can have a reunion together!         Donald left a devoted wife, Martha, three sons, a number of Grandchildren, and a host of loved ones and friends.
