Samuel A. Williams' Obituary
Samuel Aaron Williams, 71, of New Eagle, died unexpectedly Tuesday, February 28, 2017 in his home. He was born August 27, 1945 in New Eagle, the son of John and Lois Gailey Williams.
Sam was a graduate of Monongahela High School and served in the US Army during the Vietnam War. After serving in the war, he settled in Pittsburgh and worked for a construction firm as a drywall hanger and painter. In later years, he was employed as a cook at Brookdale Family Living in Brookline and retired on January 3, 2009. In 2013, Sam moved back to New Eagle to be closer to his family. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Monongahela and the Sutman Yohe VFW Post 1409 in Black Diamond. Sam was a big fan of football, basketball, hockey and of course an avid Steelers and Penguins fan. Sam loved going to oldies concerts and dances, and enjoyed watching westerns and war movies. Fondly known as Sambo or Bucky to his family, he was dearly loved and will be sadly missed.
He is survived by one brother, Jack Williams of Navarre Beach, Florida; five sisters, Janis Ryschlinski of Wayne, MI, Linda Curcio and husband Robert of New Eagle, Lois Williams of Boston, PA, Claire Shearer of West Newton, Rita Lenzi and husband Alfred of New Eagle; numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters, Jeanne Williams who died March 13, 1968 and Laurie Timko who died April 18, 2013.
Friends will be received on Friday, March 3, 2017 from 2-8 PM in the Frye Funeral Home, Inc., 427 West Main Street, Monongahela, where services will be held on Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 11:00 AM with the Rev. Mark Woomer officiating. Committal services and interment will follow in the Monongahela Cemetery with military honors conducted at the graveside by the Mon Valley Firing Squad and Honor Guard.
Memorial contributions may be made to the First Presbyterian Church, 609 Chess Street, Monongahela, PA 15063.
