George Joseph Williamson

October 6, 1942 - January 25, 2021

George J. Williamson, of Monroeville, NJ, formerly of the Cramer Hill section of Camden, NJ, passed away January 25, 2021 at the age of 78 years. Dear son of George Williamson and Louise Williamson. Beloved father of Georgeann Batten (Todd), Fran Cabela (Robert), George Williamson, and Jack McAllister. Proud grandfather of John McAllister, Todd Humphrey, Rosie Humphrey, Christina Gotts, Georgia Williamson; and the Batten Bunch, Todd (fiancée Morgan), Cole, Georgeann, Hunter, Connor, Brooke, and Jade; great-grandfather of nine. Loving brother of Jean Madara (Harry), Luisa Rogers (Frank). He is also survived by his best buddy Rich Dingler as well as many nieces and nephews. George worked as a machinist at Langston Corporation for thirty-four years. He was the head coach of the Bishop Eustace track and field team for both boys and girls. He also coached many kids through shot put, javelin, and discus. George was always athletic and was a weightlifter in his younger days. He enjoyed staying active and going for walks. His favorite breakfast was eggs topped with avocados. George’s love for athleticism lead him to being an avid fan of Eagles Football and appreciating kick-boxing, wrestling, rugby, baseball, and working out. He enjoyed fishing, photography, shopping, listening to music, watching tv and movies, and rescuing animals. George loved Columbia and believed it to be the most beautiful country. In Columbia, he liked to feed the stray dogs. He enjoyed dog sitting when his friends would go away and even worried himself when one of the dog’s had surgery. He would get coffee every morning with his friends, Dr. Ray, Mario, and Odd. He would go to the beach with his nurse friend, Mili, and her daughter Geimy. George did everything with his best friend, Rich. They would watch the Eagles together, went to night clubs, and always had the best of times. They would go to listen to Robert Cabela sing Elvis and Dean Martin at his shows. George genuinely enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest. He was a strong man with a big heart and always had a love for God. Above all else, George was an amazing father and grandfather. He would do absolutely anything for his family. He never missed a single event with all the kids and supported them through everything, even if it meant braving the freezing cold to watch the boys play football. He took the time to teach them the right way to lift weights; to throw javelin, discus, and shot put; and to pitch in baseball. He took them fishing off bridges and at the beach. He even once caught a 52-inch striper. He had immense pride for all his grandkids, and they loved him endlessly in return. He adored his granddaughters, who would always give him a kiss on the cheek followed by a “love you pop pop”. As for a father, he was always there to talk to, give support, or just spend time. He was always a father his children could be proud of. He loved gathering people for the holidays and celebrations. Seeing everyone and drinking a couple of cold beers always warmed his heart. Thanksgiving was always a time to have all the family together. He would stuff himself to the brim, but always find room for dessert; his favorite of which was cheesecake and apple or coconut custard pie. Whenever there was a party for the kids, he would cook up twenty pounds of his potato salad, which everyone knew was the absolute best. He loved to go shopping with his daughter, Georgeann, and grabbing lunch at Papa Luigi’s. They traveled together to watch all the grandchildren play sports, even travelling all the way to the Bronx, NY in a snow storm to watch his grandson Todd’s wrestling match. He loved all animals and would save food for them to bring over and feed all the cats first, followed by the labradors. He often gave to animal rescues. He will be reunited in Heaven with the love of his life, Elizabeth Roseanne, and his grandson Grant Batten. “We love you to Heaven and back. Until we meet again, Love you Dad.” Services for George will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Sarama Animal Rescue at www.sarama.org/donate.
