Tom was born January 2, 1943 in Taplin, WV, a son of the late Shelby Thomas and Dorothy Elizabeth Williams. He celebrated 50 years of marriage with his beautiful wife, Barbara Kay Graham Williams.

He also loved and cherished his sister Sally Cline (Bill) of Davin, WV, two brothers: Fred Williams (Gloria) of Mallory, WV, James Williams (Sharlene) of Man, WV, and many nieces, nephews, and cherished friends.
