February 9, 1927 – September 27, 2015
Mr. Joe “JD” Williamson, Jr., age 88, of Griffin, GA passed away on Sunday, September 27, 2015 at Brightmoor Nursing Center.
Mr. Williamson was born on February 9, 1927 to the late Joe Williamson and the late Lula Pruitt Williamson. He was preceded in death by his brother Guy “Tuffy” Williamson, sister Rosie Jones, brother-in-law Pete Jones and son-in-law Oscar “Jr.” Taylor.
He proudly served his country in the United States Coast Guard and United States Army.

He also co-owned Silver Skates Roller Rink with his brother Tuffy and owned JD’s Cue Room in Griffin. He was a long-term member of Carver Road Baptist Church. He leaves us with many great memories and many life lessons. He lived well and loved life and those who knew him know he is once again skating, skiing and playing pool in his new healthy body.
