Dr. John Tudor Leonard Williams
August 31, 1947 – December 19, 2022
It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Dr. John Tudor Leonard Williams, age 75 years, on 19 December 2022. A beloved husband, father, grandpa, brother, son, and friend, he will be missed by many. Predeceased by his father John W. A. Williams, brother Paul Williams, parents-in-law Stan and Patricia Sinnott, brothers-in-law Howard Metcalf and Alan MacDonald, and sister-in-law Kay Williams.
Leaving with special memories, his devoted wife of 48 years Margaret “Muffin” (nee Sinnott); cherished daughters Erin (Adam Morgan), Jessica (Patrick Holland), and Gillian (Darren Ivany); the joys of his life grandsons London and Maddox Morgan and granddaughters Gemma and Piper Holland; dear mother Vera Williams; brother Mike Williams (Gwen); sisters Camilla Williams, Yvonne Gazzard (Gord Stech), and Mary Williams; brothers-in-law John Sinnott (Susan) and Bill Sinnott (Gerri) and sisters-in-law Kathleen Metcalf and Andrea MacDonald; along with many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Family would like to send a heartfelt thank-you to Eastern Health’s Haematology Department, especially Dr. Joanne Hickey who cared for John for the past 11 years, and to the compassionate care given to him by the staff of 4NA at the Health Sciences Centre.
We will remember John as an intelligent, hard working, and caring man. He was a general practitioner and anaesthetist for 40 years, having worked the bulk of his career at St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital. His unique array of hobbies, including bird photography, metal detecting, and all things military and naval, introduced him to many new friends and communities around Newfoundland. Always insistent on being called “Grandpa” by his grandchildren, he ultimately landed the beloved titles of “Gramps” by his adored grandsons and “Dopa” by his darling granddaughters. He will be dearly missed for who and all that he was.
At John’s request, cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held at Caul’s Funeral Home, 84 LeMarchant Road, on Tuesday, 27 December 2022 from 2:00-5:00pm and 7:00-9:00pm. The family kindly asks that masks be worn to attend the visitation. Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, 28 December 2022 at 10:30 a.m. at Our Lady Queen of Families Church (St. Peter’s Church), 110 Ashford Drive, Mount Pearl.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of one’s choice.
