Past President William F. Williams

Today, we lost not just a leader, but a man of deep conviction, kindness, and strength. Past President Bill Williams passed away today, leaving behind a legacy of service and integrity.  His vision, dedication, and unwavering commitment shaped the future of Lodge 50. His leadership wasn't about power---it was about purpose. Bill was a mentor, a friend, and a man who led with both strength and heart. He believed in the power of unity, in the potential of every individual, and in the responsibility of leadership to uplift rather than divide. Bill was a career law enforcement professional, having retired from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office after 30 years of dedicated service. He was a seasoned investigator in the homicide, property, financial crimes, and pawn shop divisions.  He retired as a polygraph examiner in internal affairs. Bill was an active member of the Fraternal Order of Police and Lodge 50 for nearly four decades and served as President from 2011 to 2014.

Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him. May he rest in peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire us all.  Funeral arrangements are still being finalized and will be shared once available.  We appreciate your love and support during this time.
