WILLIAMSON -- Charles (Chuck) Junior Williamson, 85, a resident of Albuquerque for 50 years, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 12, 2011. He is survived by his four children, John W. Williamson and wife, Susan, Rebecca J. Monette and husband, John, Charles Michael Williamson and wife, Debbie, and Debora L. Griffin and husband, Bill, all of Albuquerque; six grandchildren, Christopher Monette, Mikal Monette, Kevin Williamson, Caitlin Williamson, Kayla Williamson, and Kyle Williamson; his beloved dog Bambi; cousins, Patricia Clue and Norma Jean Clancy, both from Kansas; and other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his wife, Theresa Elaine Williamson; and his parents, Charles and Mae Williamson. Chuck was born in Larned, Kansas in 1926. After graduating from Larned High School, Chuck entered into the United States Navy at the age of 17 and served in Pearl Harbor during WWII. He was stationed in the flag ship office with Admiral Chester Nimitz, the only five-star Admiral in the Navy, and on the U.S.S. Missouri. In a personal letter from James Forrestal, the Secretary of the Navy in 1946, Chuck was commended for serving in the greatest Navy in the world, crushing two enemy fleets at once, receiving their surrenders only four months apart. In the Navy, he was an expert marksman and a champion boxer. After the war, he attended Kansas State University where he played football. Chuck was an outstanding athlete, later playing semi-professional basketball for the ABL Phillips 66'ers. Charles met and married the love of his life, Theresa Elaine Durler in 1950. In 1955, Chuck was encouraged by Admiral Nimitz to relocate to Los Alamos, NM where he worked for the Los Alamos National Labs until 1961 when he transferred to Albuquerque to work for the Atomic Energy Commission. Chuck later worked for GE and eventually owned his own jewelry production business, ABC Traders. He loved bowling and golf. Chuck was a loving father and grandfather and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Cremation has taken place and a Memorial Service will be held at French - Wyoming Chapel, Saturday, April 16, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be made in Chuck's name to the American Cancer Society, 10501 Montgomery Blvd, NE Suite 300, Albuquerque, 87111, or on the web at www.cancer.org.
