A tribute to the late Carleton Williams
Dear Editor,
Carleton Williams CBE, role model extraordinaire, gentleman, scholar, philanthropist and nation builder has passed from time to eternity.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams, very close friends of my parents, knew me before I knew myself. He was a larger than life figure, an icon, who exemplifies exceptionalism at the highest level, however it is defined.
He often spoke of his parents Mr. Samuel Williams, a businessman and contractor, St. Agnes Anglican Church Catechist and pillar of the community, and Mrs. Nellie Williams, wife, mother, the Catechist’s wife, ACW member and another pillar of the community. Their home in Bain Town was an important part of the community and they worked hard to provide for their family. From their home life and by their example, he told me that he learned the values that shaped his life.
