Obituary

Junior H. Williams
March 1, 1926-December 24, 2019
Leesburg Virginia, formerly of Herndon, Virginia
Devoted, loving husband to Joyce Williams (nee Fortney) who predeceased him. Survived by children to whom he was a selfless, loving father:  sons Jamie and Randy, both of Chantilly, Virginia, and daughter Julie, of Ashburn, Virginia. Son of David and Inez Williams, and brother of Orpha, Mildred, and Cathern, who all predeceased him. Raised on a dairy farm in Martinsburg, West Virginia, Junior joined the United States Air Force and served as a cook at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska and Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, among others. He was a Metro bus driver for over twenty years, starting first for the AB&W Transit Company in Alexandria, Virginia. He worked for Pullen Moving Company, Hidden Creek Country Club in Reston, Virginia, and as a driver for Odyssey Dental Lab in Sterling, Virginia. Junior and Joyce married in July 1948 and moved to Alexandria in 1962 and started their family, raising their children in Virginia. Junior loved his family, the United States, country music, the New York Yankees, the Chicago Cubs, the Washington Nationals, and the Washington Capitals. He watched the Nationals' and Capitals' first championships with joy.
