RIP flaz

[SDS]

Today we found out that flaz died of cancer on April 3. At one time flaz was a pretty big regular and spent a lot of time in the shout box with us. Besides being a huge bills fan, he loved fishing and watching golf. The last few years have been particularly hard for him. The death of his wife, the death of his mom, his house in Fort Myers demolished by a hurricane. Then cancer. 
 

he was a good guy who was fun to talk with. There was a day that he was down on his luck and a bunch of us got together and had a lasagna delivered to his house. Lol. he was touched by that.

 

thanks for spending so much time with us flaz. You were good people.

 

Here is his obituary:

 

Dave was born on March 16, 1954, at Cuba Memorial Hospital in Cuba New York to his loving parents, Donald E Williams, Sr. and Jean Carol (Nunamaker) Williams who preceded him in death.

 

Dave was one of three brothers. In addition to his parents, his brother, Donald E. Williams, Jr. from Cuba also preceded him in death. He is survived by his brother, Douglas E. Williams of San Rafael California.  Dave had graduated in the class of 1972 from Cuba Central High School and had further education, but no advanced degrees. He worked primarily as a flooring technician at Total Flooring in Cape Coral, and for a short time he operated Williams Flooring. Dave also worked as Facility Manager for Tech Fiberglass in Tucson AZ for 5 years in the mid 2010s.

 

Dave was devoted to his partner of over 40 years, Shirley Vale of Cape Coral, Florida.  His brother Douglas will miss him greatly and remembers him as a good man who lived life to the fullest day by day.

 

Dave was an avid fisherman and enjoyed golf, billiards and kayaking. He was also a dedicated Buffalo Bills Fan and probably still is.

He will be missed by many beloved family members including his brother Don’s spouse, Katie (Learn) Williams and their children David Williams, Audra Metz, Barbara Williams and Michael Williams, Douglas E. Williams and spouse, Lisa Diamond Williams and their 2 children, Olivia Williams and Zachary Williams his spouse Benita Horl Williams, their son Ira Gunther Williams.

Although Dave fathered no children, he was a father figure to Shirley’s daughters Cheri and Nichole and a loving step grand -dad to their children Rachelle and Brian, Scott and Michelle respectively.

RIP flaz- condolences to all that knew him

[Snappysnackcakes]

May he rest in peace and may his friends and family remember the good times only, in time. I’m certain our paths crossed at some point, being from Olean; Cuba is Olean’s vacation spot. Cuba Lake that is. 

[BigAl2526]

He was born 2 years to the day after I was.  That's a sobering thought.
