Earl T. Williams

Earl “The Squirrel” Williams passed away peacefully in his sleep May 13, 2024. He was born on the 4th of July, 1958 in Newfane NY, son of Thomas Williams (deceased) and Lorena (Lester) Williams of Ransomville NY.

Earl had an amazing life and was a happy-go-lucky, quick witted man who always had a warm smile on his face and a warm hug for his friends and family. He was very outgoing and would introduce himself to everyone he met telling them his name and his birthday. He was convinced that all the fireworks and celebrating on July 4th was for him. He was a member and honorary Elder of St. Peters Lutheran Church North Ridge on Church Street in Lockport NY. Earl was a poster child with Senator Earl Brydges for Down Syndrome Awareness. He was an avid bowler, golfer, dancer, card player and considered himself to be a pro in everything he attempted, just ask him! He was a member of the Boy Scouts of America, a Buffalo Bills and New York Jets Football fan and loved all styles of music, especially Barbara Mandrel. Earl loved his golf cart named “The Earlmobile” and would be seen driving it all around the neighborhood. He was a proud member of the "Lockport Chimers" Bell Ringers Group. He loved all women, especially blondes and considered himself a bit of a Chick Magnet! As he would say, “What can I say, they love me!”

He is survived by his siblings Mark “Buc”(Patrice) Williams of Lockport and sister Cynthia(Lon) St. Louis of Gasport NY, as well as niece Larissa (Jake) Raymond, nephews Alonzo (Rachel) St. Louis and Thomas Williams well as many cousins, aunts, uncles and dear friends.
