Without Jimmy Williams, there never would have been an Ultimate Oldies Radio. He single-handedly created a site that has attracted thousands of oldies lovers from around the world. More than his astounding ability to create anything he set his mind to, Jimmy was a cherished and faithful friend. The featured tribute below only begins to scratch the surface of his accomplishments. 

Even more noteworthy is the fact that Jimmy faced tremendous adversity in his later years. Heavy burdens and sorrows that may have defeated many another man. However, the Good Lord turned those trials into victory as Jimmy returned to the faith that he was taught by his parents and as a result, lived out his remaining days in peace. 

You are missed old friend. See you when we get there.

This website is dedicated to the memory of Jimmy Williams
