Williamson was born in Flint on September 14, 1931, the son of Bernard and Reo (Williamson) George, who died giving birth. He was raised by his father and his aunts until his father married Katharine E. (Wilkins) George, who became his stepmother. He attended Saint Matthew’s School in Flint, Class of 1949. He attended Flint Junior College for two years then transferred to the University of Michigan earning a B.A. in accounting in 1953. On October 1, 1955, he married Patricia Ann Terriere and she preceded him in death in 1987. Bill worked at Hurley Medical Center for 25 years where he became the Director of Finance. He retired in 1983. Following his retirement, he expanded his private accounting practice, which he kept until 1997. He was a lifelong fan of University of Michigan football and had been a season ticket holder since 1969. Bill was also a longtime member of the Flint Elks Club. He loved music and his sonorous renditions of his favorite songs were a frequent source of entertainment for family and friends.
He is survived by his children, Thomas (Sandy), Mary Flynn (Jerome), Patrick, Katharine Badgley (Nicholas) and Claire George (Steve Cline);
11 grandchildren, Lauren, Maria and Matthew George; Adam and Lucas Flynn; Taylor Munroe (Brett) and Hannah George; Reo and Annie Dieterich; and Lucille and Audrey Cline;
