Ronald Lee Williams

Ronald Lee Williams, age 79, passed away in December 2015 at his home in Colorado where he resided for the last 29 years Born June 26, 1936 in Koleen, IN, he was the son of Doris (Lynch) and Raymond Williams of Bloomfield, IN. A 1954 graduate of Scotland High School, he received his BS and MS Degrees in Pharmacy from Butler University. He worked at Pielemeier Drugs in Bloomfield and Hooks Drug Stores in Indianapolis before moving to New Orleans where he received his PhD from Tulane University. Dr. Williams retired from Louisiana State University Medical School in 1984 after 20+ years in the Department of Pharmacology where he taught dental students, collaborated in medical research and contributed articles to pharmaceuticalmedical journals . He later moved to Colorado and returned to work as a pharmacist. Ron loved the Colorado mountains, camping, classic books and music, old movies, jazz artists of the Golden Age, and endless hours of reading, especially the works of William F. Buckley Jr. and C.S. Lewis not to mention countless others. He knew a “little bit” about a lot of things. If you had a question he couldn’t answer, he would research until he had relevant information to share. A lifelong learner, he was a resourceful renaissance man and loved by family and friends. Surviving relatives include: his children and their mother, wife Sondra (Cobb) of Bloomfield, daughter Robin (and Raul) Morales and sons Christopher, David, Jonathan (and Katy) Williams; seven grandchildren: Kyle, Megan, Morgan, Keaton, Jackson, Savannah and Max; brother Bruce (and Patty Long) Williams, of Vevay, IN, as well as cousins, nieces and nephews, many of them residing within or nearby Greene County, IN. He was preceded in death by his second wife, Eunice (Lovato), brothers Ward and Buford and his parents. A Memorial service will be held at Mineral Church in Mineral IN on July 8, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. officiated by Ronald’s cousin, Willis Horn of Brownsburg, IN.
