In memory of Andy Williams

Andy Williams, one of the last crooners from the golden age of easy-listening pop music, died Tuesday at his home in Branson, Mo. He was 84. Williams, who had been battling bladder cancer, had divided in time in recent years between La Quinta, Calif., and Branson, where he owned the Moon River Theater — named after the song that had been his signature since 1962.

Williams came across for six decades on concert stages and television shows as the ultimate Mr. Nice Guy, as well known for his warm, genial personal style as for his music.
He had only one major brush with tabloid celebrity, when his ex-wife, Claudine Longet, was charged in 1976 with accidentally killing her new boyfriend, skier Spider Sabich. Williams, from whom Longet had been divorced a year earlier, escorted her to court, attended the trial and helped pay for her defense.

She was eventually sentenced to 30 days in jail and then married her attorney a few years later. Williams married Debbie Meyer in 1991 and remained with her until his death.

May he rest in peace, RIP.

I feel priviledged that my husband took me to Branson so many times and went to all the shows with me. We both enjoyed your shows and were thrilled when you took time out of your busy schedule to meet us and chat with us. My picture with you is one of my treasured memories, along with all the items that you autographed for both of us. Your music has brought me through the best and worst times of my life. I know you were serenading my husband as he entered heaven's gates just a few days after you did. Both of you will live in my heart forever. Rest In Peace

ANDY WILLIAMS 1927-2012 rest in peace.
Today the sky is full of rain our eyes is full of tears. But the love we have inside is for the man who teaches us what love means.
I think you will be together with Abraham Martin and John. Sammy Frankie Bing and Dean. Some day somewhere in Heaven i will see you again singing with the angels. So long my friend. Love from Greece

The first time I saw Andy perform was way back Forest Hills Tennis Court Concert. I was 16 years young am now 69 have followed him and his concerts New York Ed Sullivan Theater, New Jersey Theater, Mass Theater, Fla Theaters and lastly Branson. My mom mentioned he had a red lining in his jacket at the Forest Hill event kinda impressed I guess--I was fortunate to have known several people at the theater and met Andy several times backstage. My husband mentioned I over the years had spent all of his money on Andy's shows laughingly, During Fan Club day my girlfriend met Andy and mentioned to him that she was an Elvis fan and did not know Andy until I brought her to Branson to meet him. She became a fan. I feel very fortunate to have been one of Andy's friends over the years and he will always have a place in my heart. By the way everyone that I have mentioned above mom, dad, husband and best girlfriend are all welcoming Andy since they passed several years ago. I can only hope he is serenading them all with his melodic voice incl my husband. Until we all meet again
