Lee Edward Williams As the “Mayor of York Street” in Williamsburg, Lee owned and operated an Exxon (Esso) service While investing in his community was important to him, Lee most enjoyed time with his family and friends. If he was not eating at a local buffet or making homemade ice cream, you could find him hunting, fishing, camping, growing vegetables, or at the beach. He began riding motorcycles at the young age of 70! Lee and friend, Al Brenick, took a cross country motorcycle trip a few years later. There aren’t too many roads in the country that Lee has not traveled, be it on his motorcycle, towing a boat, or in one of the many cars he owned over the years. In retirement, most trips seemed to lead to Atlantic City or Las Vegas. Lee was a regular at many Williamsburg events and restaurants. Colonial Pancake House, with the Prassas family, is where many friends, as well as his grandchildren, could visit with him over the years. The annual family reunion in July was one of the most important events in his life for decades. Lee is survived by his wife of twenty-nine years, Kimberly Hope Britt Williams. His sons Michael (Lisa), Ted, and Joe Williams, his “favorite” daughter Helen (Troy) Lapetina, and their mother Sue G Williams. Grandchildren Brandon (Allegra) Lapetina, Jason (Jamie) Lapetina, Bryce (Taylor) Williams, “favorite” granddaughter Addie Williams. Four great grandchildren Lucy, Cooper, Nathan, and Molly Lapetina.

He is also survived by his sisters Louise Hill, Lucille Reese and Linda (Bill) Spence, brothers Lewis, Leland and Linwood (Dee) Williams, daughter-in-law Paula Lynn, and sisters-in-law Mary Ann Googins, Edwina Gill and Kathy McKnight.
