Robert E. Williams began his professional journey with his undergraduate degree from TCU and MBA from Wharton. 

A 40-year career in the corporate world followed, serving as a Senior Vice President with E.I. DuPont de Nemours, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Sharp Healthcare. 

But he found his true calling in teaching, first at Arizona State University, then for 12 years as a Professor at the Mason School of Business at William & Mary. 

In Professor Williams, his students found a tireless advocate and mentor, always willing to share his time and expertise. 

Bob is survived by Sarah, his wife and companion for 67 years, 2 sisters, two children and their spouses and four grandkids.
