A viewing will be held on Wednesday, August 17th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., 
with a memorial service starting at 1:00 p.m., at Hillcrest Memorial Park & 
Mortuary for Pancho Williams who passed away at his home surrounded by his 
loved ones at the age of 74, on August 11, 2005. Pancho was born in Ventura, 
California. He started out working as a farm laborer up and down the coast of 
California until he moved to Bakersfield, at the age of 19. At that time he 
met his loving wife of 54 years, Cruz Williams. They lived in LA for a short 
time before coming back to Bakersfield to settle down. He belonged to the 
Construction Laborers Union 220 while working at Gundlachs for a great number 
of years. Pancho was a hard worker and loved to joke around with all who knew 
him. He enjoyed taking his family camping, fishing and loved to bowl. He was 
preceded in death by his son, Jerry Williams and great-grandson, Zachary 
Barter. He is survived by his loving wife, Cruz Williams; daughter and son-in-
law, Lorraine and Joseph Hernandez; sons, Alex and Steven Williams; daughter 
and son-in-law, Rosemary and Hector Hernandez; and daughter, Isabel Williams. 
He will be greatly missed by his 14 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren and 
numerous other family members and special friends. Our family would like to 
thank Optimal Hospice and their wonderful staff, Adrianne Willard, RN and 
Claudia Sanchez for the wonderful care that was given to him in his last few 
months of life. In lieu of flowers, please send your donations in his name to 
Optimal Hospice, 4800 Stockdale Hwy., Suite 215.
