Kenneth Williamson Memoriam
Ken passed away peacefully on December 19,
2022, at the age of 90. Ken, a long-time resident of Hauppauge NY, was preceded
in death by his beloved wife, Judy, his daughter, Karen, and his second wife,
Elizabeth. He was the loving father of Kristen Jacobsen and David Williamson.
He was Grandpa to 12 grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers, Bob
and Wallace. Ken graduated from Columbia University in 1955 and was
commissioned in the Navy in 1956. He served as a nuclear weapons officer aboard
the USS Roosevelt and USS Forrestal. In 1958 he became a Navy pilot and flew
the A-1 Skyraider aboard the USS Intrepid and USS Enterprise. He transitioned
from active duty into the US Navy Reserves and flew the A-4 Skyhawk and became
an engineer for Grumman on Long Island for several years. The desire to return
to sky inspired him to fly for Pan American and eventually Delta Air Lines. He
was a very active member and deacon of the First Baptist Church of Central
Islip as well as Cornerstone Christian Fellowship on Long Island. Ken was a
great sinner that was rescued and redeemed by a far greater savior, Jesus. Ken
was motivated to share his faith by the conviction that salvation is by grace
alone, through faith in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.
