Robert Noah Williams, 74, of California, MD died on December 21, 2012, with his loving family at his side. Born February 22, 1938 in Johnson City, NY, he is the son of the late Noah Williams and Gertrude (Finch) Williams.

Robert entered the United States Navy in 1958 and proudly and honorably served his country until his retirement as a Senior Chief in 1986. During that 28 year span he married the love of his life, Annamaria (Radice) Williams, on March 13, 1964, while stationed in Italy. He served on the following Ships: USS Wright, USS Biddle (which did a tour of duty in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Vietnam War), USS Howard W. Gilmore, and USS Farragut. He and his family were stationed overseas in Iceland, Greece, and two different tours of Italy.

After retirement he worked as a Defense Contractor for six years and then found a new calling that he loved to do and that was Home Schooling Children who were too sick to attend school. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus.

In addition to his loving wife, Robert is survived by his children, Mark Henry Williams and his wife Lynn of Leonardtown, MD and Camille Rosaria Williams of California, MD; his brother, Donald Williams of Johnson City, NY; and his grandchildren, Hayden, Jennifer, and Charles; and his great-grandchildren, Brennan and James.
