Normally in our Saturday chats, we finish with an obit observation.

Williams, who died Monday at 87, grew up on a Bledsoe County farm and graduated with honors from Tennessee Tech with an accounting degree. In his four-plus decades at Hazlett, Lewis & Bieter, Williams surely handled more people’s money than a full-time cashier at your neighborhood Mapco.
