Obituary of Medford Williams

Medford “Med” Williams, 73 of the Oak Hill Community, went to be with the Lord on March 17, 2009, surrounded by his loving family. Med was born in Glover, Oklahoma on July 25, 1935 to Scott and Era Williams. They later moved to the Harris Community where he spent most of his younger years. Med was a devoted husband, father, “Papa” and friend to many. Those who knew him will surely miss his kind and gentle spirit. Traveling as a construction worker and insulator for many years, he returned home to start his own business, Med’s Heat and Air. Med enjoyed his work and later retired in 1995. After retirement he loved to go fishing and do woodworking in his shop. His family, friends, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were his joy.
