In 1992 Percy married his sweetheart, Sandra (Moore), “Sandy.” Their marriage was blessed with two children, Rachel and Brian.Percy was also an avid and accomplished pianist, who, along with his wife, loved playing, composing, and arranging. Percy and Sandy taught music -- and their love for that medium -- to their two children. Percy’s friends and family knew him as a dedicated friend, husband, and father who showered everyone near him with quality time, bad jokes, and love. Above all else, he will be remembered as an amazing man of God.He is survived by his wife, Sandy, his children, Rachel and Brian, his sister, Estelle Williams Crenshaw (Wes), and his brothers Russell and Kenneth Williams, and a host of other relatives and friends who will cherish his memory. His parents and another brother, Julian Williams, predeceased him. His memorial will be held on Saturday, Sept. 23, at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in Savannah, Georgia, at 12 noon.  In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Sponsors of New and Talented Artists (SONATA), Inc., a charity started by Percy’s mother that provides music lessons for children whose financial situations would not allow them to learn music otherwise.
