Cherished grandfather to Collin Williams (Jillian) of Washington State, Jordan Williams of California, Romey Williams of California, and Alyssa Williams of California. Adored brother to Daryl Y. Gregg of Johnstown, PA, and Brady A. Williams of Pittsburgh, PA, affectionately known as Billy. Bill also has 6 great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his 5 siblings Yolanda Ptomey, Hugh E., Donald J., Alice Hall, Janice Warren (Harlen), Audrey, and Mildred G. (Mil).
William attended Soho School in Pittsburgh’s Soho District, and Larimer High School, and later graduated from Westinghouse High School, where he played as Center for the Westinghouse Bulldogs. Bill earned his BA Degree in Business Management from California University and later earned his MBA in Operations Management from the University of Pittsburgh. William worked for Trenmark Corporation in Miranda, CA as a Materials Manager, Mectron Industries, Industry, CA as a Manufacturing Manager, Ford New Holland, (a Subsidiary of Ford Motor Company), New Holland, PA as a Technical Buyer, Volkswagon of America, New Stanton, PA as Sr. Manufacturing Engineer, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation, East Pittsburgh, PA as Tool and Die Design and Fabrication Technician.

Bill was a member of The Union League Club of Chicago. He volunteered for activities involving Chicago Engineers Foundation, and Early College and Career Education Program for Chicago Public Schools. He provided support for Union League’s Luminart’s Cultural Foundation, and The Boys and Girls Club. He was also Director for Board of Chicago Engineers’ Foundation of the Union League Club of Chicago. That was not enough for Bill, he was also an active member of American Mensa.
Uncle Bill/Bill was a man of few words, but when he spoke, his words carried purpose and true meaning. Uncle Bill was the Patriarch of the Williams family, and gave advice to whomever would listen, on subjects he had great knowledge, and some he had no knowledge on, but spoke as though he was a scholar. He had a great love for reading and was an die-hard Steelers fan. He had a room that was dedicated to the Pittsburgh Steelers ONLY.
Uncle Bill/Bill will be sorely missed by all, but his legacy carries on, and his wisdom will continue to be heard and admired for generations to come.
The Williams Family would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation for the love and words of comfort for our family, especially Aunt Jackie. Thank you to all Aunt Jackie’s Chicago friends for staying by her side to make certain she was ok, and not alone.
Friends received Monday, June 9, 2025, 10am til time of service at 11am, at the Rose Funeral Home & Cremation Services.
