Statement from Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst “I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dick Williams, a life-long newsman and husband to Brookhaven’s former mayor, Rebecca Chase Williams. Dick was a tireless watchdog holding governments accountable, long before there was a City of Brookhaven. His dedication to the ideals of honesty, integrity and service were the foundation upon his life’s work. In fact, Dick and Rebecca’s expectation that governments could and should do a better job was a catalyst in the creation of Brookhaven itself. Dick’s legacy are those ideals in which this City was founded upon. |
