john John K. Williams, Jr. recently passed away. Williams, who suffered cerebral palsy his entire life, was an active member on the International Swimming Hall of Fame board and dedicated much of his life to Adaptive Aquatics.
The following obituary was submitted by ISHOF:
It is with great sadness that we announce the of passing John K Williams Jr., after a lifetime of service to Adaptive Aquatics and the disabled community.
John was born May 12, 1945, a third generation San Diegan. At birth his brain was deprived of oxygen, leaving his intelligence intact but interfering with his nervous system so that he had diminished control of his muscles. His condition, cerebral palsy, was a challenge all his life, limiting his mobility and speech. However, John never allowed his challenges to define him. He believed that his purpose in life was to be a role model for others. His motto was “be happy, if I can be, so can youâ€. In his 20’s he was proprietor of a book store. He also learned to swim in a time when no one thought this was possible for a person with Cerebral Palsy.
