Our hearts are heavy as we announce the passing of Robert L. Williamson of Centerville, formerly of Camden, on September 4, 2018 at Hospice of Butler/Warren County after a very brief illness.

Bob and his wife spent many vacations in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; West Palm Beach; Palm Beach; Daytona Beach; Mt. Dora and Heathrow, Florida, as well as traveling to Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, and many other points of interest with family and friends.
Bob leaves behind his wife, Dottie; brother, Jack, of Orange Park, Florida; many wonderful brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law; and adoring nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews.
