December 1, 2014Herbert "Herb" Killion Williams, 89, of Vancouver, passed away peacefully Nov. 22, 2014.
He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Edith "Dede"; sons, Gregg and Bruce (Sally); grandchildren, Austin, Megan, Reid and Perry Williams; sister, Barbara Ward of Danville, Calif.; and several nieces and nephew.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Miriam Williams.
Herb was born March 2, 1925, in Bakersfield, Calif., but spent most of life growing up in Richmond, Calif.
Immediately after graduating from high school, and much to the surprise of his mother, Herb enlisted into the U.S. Army Air Force and learned to fly PBY airplanes. After concluding his Air Force duty, Herb had a great ambition to go to college instead of becoming a pilot, so he enrolled at the College of the Pacific in Stockton and studied business administration. It was during his college years that he met Dede on a blind date arranged through mutual friends.
With Herb living in Stockton and Dede in Portland, they had only 10 dates. Within five months, they were married in 1950 in Portland. They traveled back to Richmond to begin their lives together, as Herb was then working for Standard Oil of California, Chevron. Sons, Gregg and Bruce, were born during their time in the Bay Area.
In 1959, Chevron transferred Herb to Portland, where Herb and Dede raised their family. Herb retired from Chevron in 1965, and moved into real estate investments. In Portland, the young family became very active in boating. Herb loved to be on the water, either fishing or cruising. They joined the Portland Yacht Club in 1965, and Herb became commodore in 1978. Many, many family memories would be generated by a trip on the boat, whether it was fishing out of Ilwaco or cruising up north with PYC friends. Herb was also an avid duck and pheasant hunter. While the boys were young, Herb's love of travel also resulted in the family's annual car trips, which commenced as soon as the boys were out of school in June. The trips usually lasted about three weeks and the family visited every state west of the Mississippi River. Once the boys were grown and away in college, Herb and Dede began their travels around the world. They especially enjoyed traveling on cruise ships and Herb loved seeing the wonders of the world. Herb was a longtime member of the Multnomah Athletic Club. In later years, he enjoyed his weekly lunches with fellow PYC and MAC members. Herb will be greatly missed by his friends and family. He was a generous and thoughtful man who always took care of his family. As a devoted husband, his love and care for Dede was obvious every day.

His quirky sense of humor led to the term "Skip Jokes" and always brought a smile to all. Skip was always there for his family, his friends, and his neighbors in time of need to lend a helping hand. Skip, know that you will be dearly missed and that we will never forget you.
