Remembering Ray Williams: He will be sadly missed

Click Here, Obituary, Ray E. Williams

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

As an associate of Columbia Wal-mart, I would like to say that Ray will be sadly missed at our store. He was a staple there. Every morning he would come and walk and talk to us as we worked. We became accustomed to his smile and kind words. Ray was also always one of the first in attendance at our annual veterans' breakfast. We will miss him.
