Our family life in Frenchburg was most enjoyable. Charlotte’s parents lived down the street and greatly enjoyed the grandchildren. Charlotte’s father, Kash Williams, passed in 1981. Charlotte’s mother was a great help to us and attended almost all of our kid’s sports and school activities. Charlotte’s Aunt Olive also was close to the family, as well as her Aunts, BoBo and Anno. Charlotte and I and the kids would usually go to the beach in North Carolina for summer vacation with Aunt Dot and family. We lived in an old renovated home on Back Street in Frenchburg which had been owned by Clay Williams, Charlotte’s grandfather. This is the home where the kids grew up. In the year 2000, we built a beautiful new home on US 460 up the hill from Frenchburg. We had an 11 acre farm on which we had cattle for part of the year. The home was popular with family and friends and many holidays were enjoyed there. It was great country living. In 2016 we sold the house and bought a home in Ohio in 2017, where now we reside. We have enjoyed being near to our daughter, Sarah and her family. We have attended many of the school and sporting events of our grandsons. We also travel to South Carolina to see son John, wife Melanie and granddaughters, Lincoln and CJ. We enjoy visiting our son, Will in Louisville, Kentucky. Many trips to Churchill Downs have been most enjoyable! We have also enjoyed traveling with Will. I will briefly cover the wonderful accomplishments of my children.
