When asked, I defined Mr. Williams as an EDUCATOR PAR EXCELLENCE and a GENTLEMAN. Deep roots planted in God moulded him into a calm, resilient, innovative leader.

His most endearing quality was his compassion towards needy staff and students at S.G.J.S.S.

During his tenure, effort and excellence gained recognition. Students grew to love school and highly motivated staff embraced their vocation.

At his farewell function, he described the school he led as ‘PARADISE’. Now he basks in the REAL PARADISE for all eternity. As we contemplate the paradoxical nature of death, there is sadness in passing but joy in the heavens as the faithful finds rest. Rest well, Sir. PEARLA JAMES.
