This man was an awesome teacher. i loved history already and he just made it even more interesting for me. from his Bill Clinton impersonation to his obsession with Barry Goldwater. I always loved hearing all his stories about all the things he had done and all the things he wanted to do. and yes im sad but at the same time im not because i know he is living it up with all his favorite people from back in the day and he also had a great life and also know he had no regrets and thats like closure for me. I loved Mr.Williams like he was an uncle or something every day i walked in his class he had a smile on his face and thats how i will always remember him. any time i was having a bad day i knew i could go in his class and constantly be laughing or smiling. RIP Mr.Williams, you and your family are all in my prayers. <3
Sad new on Chris having to leave us so early, we all still had a lot to learn from him, may he RIP and condolences to his family
