RIP - Chette Williams
« on: December 16, 2024, 07:28:00 AM »
Drowned in an accident on Lake Martin. His son, Chette Jr., was shot and killed in Atlanta in 2019. I worked with his wife for a short time when I first worked at Auburn. The man loved Auburn, loved those kids, and lived a life of service.

Rest in peace.

This is terrible. Chette was one of the good guys. Auburn through and through.

This one was hard one to hear. He fought the good fight against those who are still trying to tear his service down. RIP!

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Per AL.COM

Quote
Authorities said Williams and a neighbor had docked at a restaurant in Alexander City but found out it was closed for a private party. As they went to leave in Williams' pontoon boat he fell between the dock and the boat. That was about 5:45 p.m. His body was recovered at 7:19 p.m.

If he fell between the dock and boat, good chance he could have hit his head.  Could be that he just couldn't swim.  Either way, it doesn't matter.  Just tragic.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."
