He didn’t have an easy life but he loved the Lord and the Lord showed him favor. John served in the U.S. Marine Corp for 8 years. he met and married the love of his life, Margaret Smith in 1954. John and Margaret had a family and lived in California until 1970 when John decided to move “home” to Texas with his family. They joined Fielder Road Baptist Church where he and his family began to serve the Lord even becoming a deacon for over 20 years.
John started a home maintenance company, Williams Home Maintenance which he owned and operated until later in life when he retired to care for his wife.
