Patrick C. Williams, age 66, of rural Wauseon, passed away suddenly on Monday, May 12, 2014, at the Fulton County Health Center. Pat served in the U.S. Air Force for 36 years, starting at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton and then the 180th Fighter Wing of the Air National Guard in Toledo. He retired as a Senior Master Sergeant.
Pat was born in Dayton on October 20, 1947, the son of H.B. “Red” and Dorothy (Beaver) Williams. On January 6, 1979 he married Ann F. Saler. She preceded him in death in 2011.

He was also a member of the NRA, and the loyal Order of the Moose in both Napoleon and Defiance. Pat was a patriot who deeply loved our country. He was a dedicated father and loved his family very much. An avid hunter and fisherman, he enjoyed everything outdoors. He loved telling stories, particularly of camping and fishing with his dad, and also stories about his military and travel experiences. His stories always included a lesson to be learned.
