Mr. Williams was a molder in the foundry business and had worked at G & W Industries in Elkhart for 14 years. He enjoyed working on cars, listening to all types of music, having barbecues for his friends and family, and dancing, which was how he earned his nickname, "Limbo." He was a free-spirited man who loved life.
