Sad News from the MAFJBC - Charles Williams - RIP

 

Received this note from the Midwest Club telling us that long-time fruit jar collector Charles Williams has passed away. His smiling face will be missed. The Findlay Bottle Club sends our condolences to his family and friends.

Dear Midwest Antique Fruit Jar & Bottle Club member,

 

I am sad to inform you that Charles Williams has passed away.  This occurred early Monday, August 01, 2011 at the Waters of Yorktown following a brief illness. 

 

Charles was one of our long-time club members.  He supported and promoted the fruit jar hobby in many small ways.  He regularly attended our monthly club meetings.  He never missed our Winter or Summer Jar Show when he was physically able.
