Condolences for Vernon Williams Jr.
Dear Eric and family,
Please accept our sincere condolences. We are so sorry to learn of the death of your father, Dr. Vernon Williams.
I had the privilege of meeting Vern in 1975 when I came to UNL from New York City to work on my doctorate. He was the director of the Counseling Center. I found him to be incredibly intelligent and unusually compassionate and caring. He was very approachable and kind. He reminded me of my own father.
My husband also had the privilege of working with Vern during his tenure at UNL. We remained in contact with Vern after his retirement. He was very active in and dedicated to the work and mission of the NAACP.
Vern loved his family very much. We pray that the Lord will comfort and strengthen you as you cherish his life and memory. Our lives are enriched because we were blessed to know and work with Dr. Vernon Williams.
