In memory of

Paul Francis Williams

August 25, 1934 -  November 4, 2023

WILLIAMS, PAUL FRANCIS, died peacefully surrounded by family on November 4th 2023.

Brother to Peter, Michael, Teresa, Andrew, Bernard, Margaret and twin Angela. Professionally respected, former Senior VP of AON Reed Stenhouse and lifelong insurance man. He cared deeply for his family and was an active member of his church choir. He will be fondly remembered for his creative and powerful control of the English language. Described by all as charming and a true gentleman. He will be sadly missed and the amateur wine drinkers of the world will be thirstier for his absence.

We are sad to know you have left us but, we are pretty sure you have been well met by your parents, brothers and my aunts who went before. Some might even say what took you so long!
So, cheers Uncle Paul, we will raise a glass of red and fondly remember your solos.

With love, Monica, Roger, and Claire x

I will never forget the years of working alongside Paul and having some great conversations with him on any topic. He had a wealth of worldly knowledge and was a mentor to so many people in the insurance industry brokers and insurers alike. A great technician and wordsmith in his field and sad to say very few left like him. I loved going to the concerts at his church and see him singing in the choir,

Paul was blessed to have such devoted sons and family and they will be blessed. I am grateful for having been a friend. Paul you stood at God's side and you are now standing on the side of victory.

I loved the writeup. Paul was witty and full of stories about history, etc. A truly classy man. He'll be missed, that's for sure.
