Ronald, fondly known as Ron and Ronnie, was born to George and Dorothy Williams on July 10th, 1944, in Ozone Park, New York. He was a talented singer and athlete. He served as a medic in the U.S. Army. He was a bank manager and then a bartender at CBS Saloon and Brewmasters where his enigmatic personality showed. In his spare time, he enjoyed traveling to Biloxi and Las Vegas with his wife. He loved being a father and papa which meant spending time with his daughter and granddaughter. He was proud of both of them and loved cheering them on and bragging about them to others.
Ron is survived by his wife of fifty years, Helen Williams; daughter Jessica Mitch; and granddaughter Katharina. Ron was predeceased by his parents George and Dorothy; as well as his siblings James, Delores, Beverley, Buddy, and Robert.
Ron had an infectious laugh and he was known for his jokes and helping others. He will truly be missed by all.

Ronnie was a dear friend to both John and I. Our trips to meet you both in Biloxi were the best. The laughs we had whenever we were together. The cruise to Mexico for Jimmy Tilotta’s 70th Birthday was awesome because of you two. So many good memories. We love you all and are heartbroken over Ron’s passing. He is at peace now and I’m sure he is singing along with old his old cronies up in heaven. God bless all of you. Ronnie, Rest In Peace until we meet again at that big casino in the sky. Love you.

I’ve known my Aunt Helen and Uncle Ron since birth. Two very special people to the Tilotta family. Ron was a very kind and funny person which I will never forget. Rest in peace.
