BETHANY BEACH - Carl Edward Williams passed away on Monday, Apr. 24, 2017, at Harrison Senior Living. He was born in Scranton, Pa., on Thursday, Jul. 29, 1937, son of the late Hayden and Margaret (Weibel) Williams.
Carl was a proud U.S. Army Veteran, serving in Panama from 1956 until 1958. He worked in the printing industry for his entire career, most recently as a sales manager/project specialist for Dennison Manufacturing. Carl was an avid duplicate bridge player. His favorite partner was his wife of 38 years, Trina. Together, they traveled to bridge tournaments up and down the east coast, and spent several weeks each winter in Florida. Carl was a member of the American Contract Bridge League and acheived the rank of Ruby Life Master. More than anything, Carl cherished time spent with family; especially his children and grandchildren. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, and he will be deeply missed by everyone who was blessed to know him.
In addition to his parents, Carl was preceded in death by his brothers, John Williams and Robert Williams.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Trina (Leed) Williams; his sons, Michael (Leslie), of New Market, Md., Douglas, of York, Pa., Darryl (Amy), of Richmond, Va., and Russell (Kelli), of West Linn, Ore.; his daughters, Denise Barton (Brian), of Red Lion, Pa., Krista Cooper (Robert), of Broussard, La., and Liz Turner (Scott), of Dover; and 14 grandchildren.
