Obituary for Robert W. "Bob" Williams
Robert Wesley “Bob” Williams, 75 of Windermere, Florida passed away peacefully on Tuesday,
May 10, 2022, at ORMC in Orlando, Florida with his wife and son by his side. He fought a long
and hard battle with cancer.
Bob was born on April 5, 1947 in the small town in Windermere, Florida where he spent his
whole life. He is the son of Loren Roberson “Andy” Williams, Jr. and Mildred (Rosser) Williams.
Bob was a loving and supportive husband, father and granddad. He is survived by Lavina
(Maszy) Williams, his wife of 54 years; son, Loren Robertson “Andy” Williams and wife Colleen;
and Granddaughter Loren Abigail Williams.
He was preceded in death by his daughter, Mary Margaret (Williams) O’Donell, his parents and
his siblings, Larry and Judith Ann.
Bob cared deeply for the Town of Windermere. His great-grandfather McMurtry bought land in
1918 on Lake Down. His father was Mayor of Windermere from 1951-1955. He was a 5th
generation Windermerian and spent his whole life living in Windermere. Bob said, “Windermere
is a very special place…I’ve always felt that I owned the special town.” His wish was that
everyone living in Windermere would feel the very same way.
Bob first worked as a night clerk at the Winter Garden Inn in Winter Garden, Florida. In 1967,
he began working at Lake X, in St. Cloud, for Kiekhaefer Mercury Outboard until 1969, then
worked for Triangle Auto Parts grinding crankshafts. Bob opened his own shop, Revmaster
Machine, in 1972 in Windermere and then moved to Old Winter Garden Rd. Bob also
purchased several commercial properties over the years, including warehouses in Orlando, a
motel in Ft. Pierce, and retail shopping centers in the Town of Windermere. He was a true
entrepreneur with a vision to add value to the Town for the residents, but still keep it small.
The family has chosen to do a Celebration of Life for Bob in the Fall of 2022.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a charity that was close
to Bob’s heart.
