Albert ‘Al’ Williams
A memorial service for Albert ‘Al’ James
Williams will be held on Thursday, March 26
at 1:30 p.m. at Willamette National Cemetery
11800 S.E. Mount Scott Blvd.
He was born in Little Rock, Ark. to Jessie
Mae James and Sylvester Williams on May 2,
1941. However, the parents who lovingly raised
him were Robert Lee James and Allene Gray.
Al was a bundle of joy from the day he entered
the world.
In 1960, he joined the Army and became a
professional boxer, a sharp shooter/marksman,
and a heavy vehicle driver. He was honorably
discharged in 1966. He moved to Portland in
1968, where he worked as foreman for North
West Packing Company. He later worked for
the Portland Observer and Skanner newspapers,
He was a man who loved and supported his
community and he received special recognition
from a minority business committee for further-
ing economic development for members of the
community.
In 1972, he met the love of his life Carolyn
Williams. They were married in 1973 and had
three beautiful children. He was an excellent fa-
ther and husband. Those who knew and loved
him knew he was a comedian to the core. He
could brighten up any day. Two of his favorite
songs were “I Feel Good” by James Brown and
“Something About the Name Jesus” by Rance
Allen.
In 1988, he became the publisher and chief
executive of his own magazine called “Unique,”
focusing on ‘unique’ individuals in the Great
Northwest. After retirement, he became the
owner of Video Transit on North Lombard
Street. He loved to collect classic movies and
videos.
He was preceded in death by his son, Albert
“Alfie” Williams; uncle, Robert Lee James
(who raised him as his son); mother, Jessie Mae
James; and aunt, Frankie James. He is survived
by his wife of 42 years Carolyn (Caallen);
three children, Loressa, Orlando, and Dameka
Williams; brother Robert “Dino” James Jr.;
brother-in-law, Adolfo Akil; step mother Allene
Gray; 14 grandchildren, one great- grandchild,
and a host of relatives and friends.
Though God decided Al’s journey had ended
on the evening of March 9, 2015, our hearts will
be filled with happy, funny, crazy, and loving
memories forever.
Getting Ready for College and Career
C ontinued froM P age 10
eo and multimedia industry –
about her dreams of working
in those mediums and anima-
tion.
Smith’s budget framework
for the 2015-16 school year
includes adding college and
career readiness staff in high
schools, as well as improving
access for middle school stu-
dents to the art, music and oth-
er electives that could one day
inspire their career choice.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown
told business leaders and offi-
cials at the breakfast that her
budget proposes $40 million
for career and technical edu-
cation.
“Thirty years ago, if you
dropped out of high school
you could get a job in the
timber industry, or hire on as
a farm hand. Fishing was de-
pendable. You could make
a decent living and support
your family,” Brown said. “Of
course, many of those doors
are now closing, and some of
those jobs are gone. Dropping
out of high school is no lon-
ger a viable economic option.
Now, education is absolutely
essential to prosperity.”
