It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dad, Linford Wilburn Williams. Linford died peacefully on Saturday June 26th, 2021 at the Scarborough General Hospital in Toronto from kidney failure. He was 86 years old.

Linford was a husband of 52 years to his late wife Jean, (predeceased 2018). He is survived by his children, (Lee, Audrey, Kathleen, Alice and Len); grandchildren, (Leigha, Quin, Arielle, André, Nathan, Nolan), great-grandchildren, (Denae and Ethan) and extended family and friends.

Linford will be remembered for his wit and for his work ethic. He emigrated to Canada in 1959 from Jamaica and fell in love with everything Canadian, with one exception - winter snowstorms.
