This was my mothers father . He name is Diana Lovette Williams born in 1953.. She haven't seen him since she was 13 yrs old and have been trying to look for him for years but wasn't able to do so. It's amazing seeing a picture of him because my mom looks exactly like him and so do I . She even have a mole in the same exact spot as him. If anyone has any information on if he had other child that would be amazing for her to be able to connect with them. My email address is jasonwatson16@gmail.com

My grandfather was Burton Williams. He left his family in Homestead, Florida in the late 1940's early 1950's. He was Mark William's older brother. It took years to find this family but eventually we found Ben Williams who led us to "Uncle Mark." It was a warm reception. All of us who are the direct descendants (grandchildren) of Burton Williams called to speak to him and we sent pictures to him. He answered questions and filled in holes. We are exceptionally sorry to hear of his passing. Had I been noticed timely I would have made it to his service. I want to thank him for his warm reception of family he did not know for many years that he had. I look at his picture and I see the face of my mother and my aunts. Burton Williams has 4 children (all deceased) , Burton III, Lois, Helen and Herman (Herma). Rest in piece Uncle - I am glad we were fortunate to get to know you!!

After my dad was killed in Vietnam, it was always a delight to see Uncle Mark! Through the years he visited sporadically, but was always kind and had a good story to tell us about the family.
