Flags will fly at half-staff throughout Apopka from Friday, January 26th to Sunday, January 28th, the weekend of the service in remembrance of Williams.
Apopka Mayor Bryan Nelson will read a proclamation at the service to honor his service to the community and at the City Council meeting on February 7th.
Williams also served on the Lake Apopka Natural Gas Board. He was a member of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church for over 40 years, where he served as a deacon. He was very active in the Progressive Seniors Club. He was also the first African American elected in Orange County, excluding the Town of Eatonville.
Rest in peace, Commissioner Williams. Your service to Apopka and your trailblazing nature will never be forgotten.
