Billy F. Williamson
8/14/40 – 10/20/19
Long time Bacliff / San Leon area resident Billy F. Williamson passed away peacefully in his sleep on Sunday night 10/20/19 while in the hospital for treatment of pneumonia and other medical complications. Daughter Debbie was by his side at his passing.
Billy was a kind soul, and remained active cutting yards and socializing with friends and neighbors until this illness. On behalf of my father, I wish to thank the wonderful staff and physicians at HCA Houston Mainland Hospital in Texas City for their kind, compassionate treatment of my dad during his care in their facilities. They were supportive of his wishes and did their very best to bring him back to health, and in the end, provide him with comfort and dignity as he passed. He lived life fully and his family, loved ones and friends are so grateful for this blessing.
I also wish to thank my family so many of those in the local community who offered me support during the past two weeks while my dad was hospitalized. Neighbors cared for Bill’s yard, looked after his house and cared for his cats – all things that brought dad comfort and peace of mind. These same neighbors and numerous friends from dad’s yard care work, social groups and restaurant buddy circles lifted him in prayer for healing and peace. I and my family will forever be thankful to you all for your sense of community and care. Dad was so touched by all you did for him in his time of need.
A memorial service in remembrance of dad will be held at Crowder Funeral Home in Dickinson on Saturday, October 26, 2019 at 4pm. Dad’s wishes are for cremation and no viewing, and this will be honored. If you are able to do so, please come by, sign his book, share stories and dialogue with others during this time. Dress casually – dad was uncomfortable being “dressed fancy” and would want everyone to be comfortable. Those unable to attend the memorial are welcome to log on to the Crowder remembrance site at www.crowderfuneralhome.com and post electronic messages. I will read each and every one.
If you wish to do something further in remembrance, my dad would be honored for you to donate to Galveston County Animal Resource Center, 3412 Loop 197 North, Texas City, Texas 77590. Dad was a great lover of animals and I know this will bring him joy.
I will intermittently be at dad’s home and you are welcome to stop and visit when I am there. My contact information is:

What a beautiful tribute! Many prayers and blessings to you and your family, dearest Debbie, as you grieve the loss of your Dad. May you be comforted with precious memories and love of those all around you.
I am so sorry for your loss, Debbie. I lost my husband a year or so after Bill lost Margie. He kept an eye on me over here while I mowed and always offered assistance if I needed it. He was a good, kind man and I will miss him. I know he’s happy now with Margie. May they rest in peace together for eternity.
Rest In Peace my brother-in-law! You will be missed!
Debbie – so very sorry for your loss. You truly honored and cared for both your Mom and Dad. You and your family remain in our prayers. Sending you lots of love.
Im going to miss you Bill!
Say ‘hi” to Margie for me.
Gilhooley’s won’t be the same without you.
Rest in peace my friend.
Debbie Sorry for your loss. You and your family remain in my prayers.

I’m so sorry to hear Bill’s passing. He use to mow my mom’s yard and then he was mowing my next door neighbor’s yard and Colette passed away and he took her little dog Kalie. He came to bring Kalie over about 3 months ago where it could see Kalie. Rest in peace sweet Bill. We will all miss you!
Bill has been a friend to me for 20 to 30 years.
He was so good to me after the passing of my husband.
I loved Margie and Bill.
Heaven has 2 Angels now that I will truly miss.
Debbie, you done a very good job on a tribute to Bill.
Sending our condolences and prayers for you and your family.
I have really missed seeing Margie once in awhile, life is short.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Mr. Bill was always so kind. He will be greatly missed. He would always call us( Brookside John Deere) to bring in his little tractor for service a day before. I’ll miss getting those calls. I loved hearing his stories and about his puppy that ate the wires on his trailer.
The Lord has definitely called his angel back home. He’ll always be a part of everyone he knew. My prayers for you and your family.
My mother and I are broken-hearted over the loss of our dear friend Mr Bill. He managed to keep going after losing his Margie, always cheerful, always glad to sit with us on the porch for a bit. She’ll miss those conversations and their lunches out, and I’ll miss his visits and calls. Since I would pay him in advance for cutting my little lot, he’d call me after the funds ran out, and say, “I cut you; you owe me.” I’ll miss those funny “I cut you” reports. I’m so sorry for your loss, Debbie. You have our sincere sympathy.
Sad to hear of his passing. I know he would be so glad to see his wife again. He did miss her so. Rest and peace, sweet man.
