Williamson was a loving father, husband, grandfather “Kulu” and friend. He was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Alice, and his siblings Florence, Honor, Colious and Everjoice.
Williamson loved singing and sang in the Trinity Methodist Church choir for several years in Harare. He worked as an educator and headmaster for 20 years before serving as an administrator at the University of Zimbabwe in the faculty of law and the university’s medical school from 1991 to 2013. He was an avid reader and enjoyed completing crossword puzzles as well as watching nature shows and the Smithsonian channel. He had a wealth of wisdom and was always eager to lend a listening ear or an encouraging word regardless of what he was going through.
