Clifford Bruce Williams, age 60, died of natural causes on September 16, 2021, at his home in Bellbrook, OH. He was born December 9, 1960, in Fort Wayne, IN. He resided in the Dayton area for most of his life. Cliff graduated from Valley View High School ~ Class of 1978; and from University of Cincinnati with a BS in Electrical Engineering in 1984.

Williams; and is survived by his mother, Hazel (Holt) Williams, his sister, Valerie (Dave) Northcutt, his brother, Carson (Sherry) Williams; two nieces, Brittney Williams and Amanda Williams, as well as several aunts, uncles, and cousins.

I spent many afternoons after school with Cliff, playing game after game of chess, honing our skills for matches as members of the Valley View Chess Team. Cliff was a worthy opponent and teammate. Sharp mind and great skills, his smile and laugh made it easy to lose to him.
Many years later, I bumped into Cliff when he was running his own home brew shop. He seemed very passionate about it, but that would be typical Cliff - - throwing his all behind what he was doing.
Condolences to the family and prayers for comfort. Cliff will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Williams, Valerie & Carson,
Though I had not seen Cliff in years, I still felt he was one of my best friends & this loss is felt deeply. I offer you all my condolences & apologize for not attending services. Let me leave you with an extremely happy memory of Cliff, at Mischa Mokwa, running down a hill yelling at the top of his lungs with an old log held high above his head. He threw it at a tree thinking to break it in two for the fire. Instead it bounced back at ankle level, taking his feet out from under him. Really hurting nothing but his pride. Chris, Danny & myself had hours of fun joking with him about it.

I worked with Cliff at NCR in the 1980's. I remember him not only as a great co-worker and engineering colleague but also fun and personable to work with. Cliff was a very good teammate with a great sense of humor. I send my most sincere condolences to his family.
