Larry Williams was my stepbrother, as was his brother Bob. I have fond memories of him riding us around Chews Landing as a youngster on his Triumph, in his Tempest, or his Volkswagen Thing. His mother, who is my stepmother, never showed any fear as she carefully wrapped his care packages to be sent to Vietnam, where he did two tours as a chopper pilot. He was smart, articulate, and had a quick wit. His last job before becoming a LEO was as service manager for Pep Boys in Barrington, where as with everything else, he excelled. He will be sadly missed. <3

Larry Williams was a stand up guy who always had a quick wit and smoked like a house on fire. I remember him often sitting at his desk in the IA office working on some report and having that crazy poster of a nun behind him. He knew the law and the personnel in the PD. Guns were just one of his hobbies, cars were another one, he had a great time with his little import that was quicker then some corvettes. We often talked about the car shows and awards he had accumulated . Larry may you Rest In Peace you will be missed by Your friends and associates and Brothers In Blue. Captain Bernie Rodgers WTPD retired

To the family of Larry Williams: So sorry to hear of his passing. He had a wit that some people did not understand, but I always enjoyed working with him. May he rest in peace and the Lord have mercy on his soul. J. Betteridge.

My Friend and Brother, Larry Williams, I first met Larry during his swearing in ceremony in 1974. I was a rookie Patrolman for the Washington Township Police Dept. and at that meeting for a different reason, than his swearing in. Engaging in conversation with him afterwards, ignited a friendship that lasted the rest of our careers. We worked together either on Patrol Platoons, as Detectives,and then as Sergeants in the Bureau, for the next twenty four years. I was the IA officer and switched jobs with him when it was time for a change. He was always a fair minded individual, which was proven in his job performance in IA. I looked at him as not only a "Brother in Blue" but as a real brother. We watched each others backs and covered for one another when necessary. After the job was over we traveled together and had great times. My Brother will be sorely missed. With profound sadness, DSG. Jim Fanelli #1014 WTPD Retired.

I always enjoyed our many conversations​, Larry . You taught me how to be a better officer. You will be missed by your friends and coworkers Godspeed brother... Sgt Eric Conova, retired

Thank you for your service, Larry.. May you rest in peace forever in the loving arms of Our Lord. We will remember you always. Collingswood HS Class of 1965

Larry would have told you that it's faster than all Corvettes. :joy:

I sat next to Larry and Bob West in the academy. He made us laugh every day. When instructors would give the class scenarios and ask how we’d respond, Larry always answered, “shoot him” mostly just loud enough for half the class to hear it, although often the entire class and instructors heard him as well. Clint Eastwood movies were very popular then so I found it fitting to nickname him Dirty Larry. He would have me over to his shooting range in the basement of his Laurel Springs house where he got a kick out of me shooting his military 45 one-handed. Larry and I were in the same platoon when I first made sergeant. He needed no supervision. He was one-hundred percent trustworthy and reliable. We would have dinner together almost every night at Butch’s Ponderosa and he’d almost always have a Tastykake before the meal saying something to the effect that no one could tell him anymore that he had to eat dinner first before getting his dessert. I look back with fond memories. I always enjoyed his company. He was a pleasure to work with, have dinner with, and have conversations with. Funny, I almost forgot that he was in the service. Although I knew it, I don’t remember him ever talking about it with me. My fond memories will keep him alive in my heart forever.

I'm sad to hear of Larry's passing. Larry was always the gentleman & I enjoyed working with him. Diane Tucker

I've known Larry from day one in law enforcement. He was a man of honor, integrity and courage. We were remembering the "old days" just week before last when he was here teaching a recruit class. He will be sorely missed by GCPA and especially, me. you've earned your rest with the Lord my good and faithful friend. Jim Sentell

One of the "good guys"...always a pleasure to talk with. Will miss you Larry. Chief Reeve

Internal Affairs Sergeant Larry Williams was the guy I would be called to see from time to time... He was always fair & completely neutral in addressing complaints. Sergeant Williams explained, "If you're not doing any work, you're not getting called to Internal Affairs." IA Sergeant Williams was so good that, after retirement, he was named the "Civilian Director of Internal Affairs." When entering "Larry's Lair" of no windows, one knew that you would be called to answer for your actions. (He had the greatest poster of a Catholic Nun behind him, with stick in hand, stating, "Don't Lie To Me." As such, you didn't lie to DSGT. Williams.) We're talking an old-school, office smoking military vet who knew his homework in the realm of Policing & Internal Affairs. I was on the beach when DSGT. Williams called me for an interview. I told him I'd be right there. He told me to stay on vacation, but good cops wanted their names cleared quick. I begged if I could meet him in an hour, and rushed home to my second home of WTPD. You see, when you have a clear conscience, you don't want to have any question in your Chief or the IA Sergeant's mind. Larry knew good cops from bad cops. Let's face it. Larry, placed in the perfect position over many years, had seen it all & taken it all in. He did me & my family a solid because he was a solid guy. He was a man of character & my wife & I were shocked to learn of his passing. God Speed Sarge. You ruled with a fair fist and am to be studied as what a good Police Supervisor & Internal Affair Leader should be. Frank Gurcsik, 1076.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
