Donald Willliams

Don Williams was born in Edmonton, Alberta Canada on December 26,1930. He grew up on a farm in northern Saskatchewan with his older brother Vic Williams. When he was old enough he moved to Ottawa, Ontario and opened up a barber shop. While barbering he picked up the game of golf and loved it so much that he shifted his vocation to the golf profession. This led him to the United States where he worked in such places as Palm Springs, Paso Robles, California and Lamar, Colorado. In Lamar, he met Linda Heath who he fell in love with and married. They eventually had a son, Chris and settled down in Yakima, Washington where dad worked as a head professional first at the Elks for several years and then Suntides. Don passed away on August 4, 2020. He is preceded in death by his wife Linda and brother Vic. He is survived by his son Chris, daughter-in-law Rachel, grandsons Evan and Zane, and his beloved "adopted" daughter Kat Floyd.
