Allen J. “Rubbs” Williams was born in New Haven, Connecticut, on January 27, 1937, and left us on January 31, 2022.
He was a wonderful husband, father, uncle, brother, grandfather, and friend. All immensely loved him in his community. He was an active member of Saint John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, serving on the council and as an usher. In addition, Williams, notoriously decked out in purple and gold, was a beloved member and Vice Basileus of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
Over his lifetime, Allen Williams committed to public safety and acts of service. He sincerely wanted to help or guide others to crime, addiction and family separation solutions.
Mr. Williams received numerous awards and certificates highlighting his work and community service with struggling veterans, youth and parents.
Williams encouraged people to ask for help when needed and offered it.
