JOHN A. WILLIAMSON
John A. Williamson, 84, of Hillsboro and formerly of Piqua, died at 2:00 pm Monday, July 12, 2010 at the Drake Center of Cincinnati due to pneumonia. His wife, Mary Kathryn (Kruse) Williamson whom he married November 18, 1947 in Rome; preceded him in death July 16, 1984.
He was born on Sept. 20, 1925 in Piqua to John Furrow Williamson and Elsie May (Barbee) Williamson. As a young boy during the Great Depression, he was called “Bud” and he had many fond memories of summers at Camp Wakonda.
He enlisted in the Army Air Corps in April 1943 and then graduated from Piqua Central High School in June 1943.
John was a Second World War veteran honorably serving in the South Pacific from 1944 to 1945 with the 5th Air Force, 90th Bombardment (Heavy) Group, “The Jolly Rogers”, 321st Squadron. He was a gunner aboard a B-24 Liberator and flew combat missions to Formosa, Luzon, Lingayen Gulf, Borneo and Corregidor. He later served in the Army Reserves and retired as a Major in the Ohio National Guard.
Following the War, John completed his BA at Ohio State University in 1949 and earned his Masters Degree from Miami University, Oxford in 1964.
He was an educator all his life beginning as a teacher at Springcreek School in Piqua, then as school psychologist for Troy City Schools and retiring as psychologist supervisor for the Hopewell Special Education Regional Resource Center in Hillsboro. He then worked ten years at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, Chillicothe, as the Director of Psychology Services.
Years ago, John refereed high school football and basketball games in the Miami Valley area.
John had many kind and dear friends in the Hillsboro area and spent enjoyable days at the Highland County Senior Center where he loved to sing in the choir and play bridge. He volunteered and served on several community boards in Hillsboro.
He was content and happy in his home in Ohio reading history, poetry and playing Bach on the piano. The “Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam” was a favorite poem of his and he often recited verses from it.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two older sisters, Barbara Jean Williamson Barron and Mary Isabelle Williamson Rudolph.
He is the loving father of three daughters and one son; Susan (Phil) Shumway of Phoenix, Arizona, Roxanne (Jay Sprinkel) Williamson of Sarasota, Florida, Kathryn (James) Burkhamer of Columbus, Ohio and Paul (Susan) Williamson of Loveland, Colorado.
He is also the beloved grandfather of Sam Williamson and Ben Williamson of Loveland, Colorado, John William Burkhamer of Columbus, Ohio, Geoffrey (Brandee) Shumway and newly born great-granddaughter, Alexis Kay Shumway of Phoenix, Arizona, and Jonathan Shumway of Costa Mesa, California.
