In Memoriam

J.T. Williamson – September 19, 1927 – December 29, 2016

J.T. Williamson of Toledo, OH was born in Huntingdon, TN to the union of Leslie Williamson and Linnie McClerkin on September 19, 1927. 

Surrounded by his loving family he peacefully passed away on Thursday, December 29, 2016 in Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Perrysburg, OH.

It was in Huntingdon at Webb School where J.T. attained his education. Upon completing his education, his next step in his life was when he was drafted into the United States Army where he proudly served and was awarded an honorable discharge.

On August 15, 1952 J.T. made the ultimate decision and married the love of his life Jane Chinneth. J.T. and Jane were blessed to have celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on August 15, 2016. He retired from Melink Steel & Safe Company after 39 years of employment, during his employment he also held the position of Union Steward. 

His accomplishments and affiliation are endless, he was most fond of being a member of Amazon Lodge #4, where he served as a past Wishful Master, and he was a member of Mecca Temple No # 43.

J.T.’s proudest moments, and his fondest memories came when he retired and became owner and operator of the Golden Fox Inn, at Fox Lake in Angola Indiana. The Golden Fox Inn provided the home away from home getaway for many of his colleagues, friends, and families.  
 

He was affectionately known as “Grand-daddy” to the grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  He so loved imparting wisdom and knowledge into them, and making them laugh uncontrollably at every encounter.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Leslie and Linnie; his brothers, Argyle, Louis, and Pressley; sister, Lucille; and his daughter, Diane M Cowell. He leaves to cherish his memory, wife, Jane; sons, Richard (Colleen) McCray, Kevin (Ida), Rodney (Barbara) of Findlay, Mario Williamson; daughters, Suzette (George) Cowell Jr., Tina (Tommy) Butts, and Schnell Sanders; grandchildren that he raised Reggie, Garnett, Anthony Cowell,  grandchildren, and  great-grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends.
