Irv Williams always said he only made one mistake while working at the White House, hiring me! I executed his budget from the National Park Service from 1982 - 1984 when I joined the Executive Residence staff as Administrative Officer. Irv was my friend and when President George H.W. Bush held his horseshoe match he allowed me to be his partner. He carried me to the finals where we played for the championship in front of President and Mrs. Barbara Bush at his private horseshoe pit Irv built beside the pool outside the Oval Office. I loved Irv and think of him and his son Gary often along with his wonderful wife Dorothy. I will keep him alive in my heart and mind as long as I am on this earth. Thank you for everything BOSS. You will be missed, WWW

I’m so sorry for your recent loss. My deepest condolences to your family. Death of a loved one is never easy to endure, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Continue looking to God and you will always find comfort in him (2 Cor 1:3,4). He will soon destroy the enemy of death (1 Cor 15:26), and He will soon return our loved ones to us through the resurrection (John 5:28,29). Please visit JW.org and search “When Someone You Love Dies”, it helped me through some difficult times and I hope you can find comfort in it also. May we all see him soon in the most beautiful garden of all, Paradise!

May he rest in God's glorious kingdom. I remember always seeing him at the white house, day after day, second after second, year after year, hour after hour, non stop, every single single day, planting flowers and singing Baptist songs at the top of his lungs, he was a great singer and extremely intelligent, I remember he told me once at the gate.... "Arthur, always remember to bring the love of your life flowers, they are as beautiful as her soul :) " Hero's live forever

I just learned of Irv's passing today.. I would have been to the visitation had I known in time.. To Gary and your entire family, I'm deeply sorry for your loss.. Irv was a wonderful person and a great friend, as well as co worker. I think of him often and was actually mentioning him just a few days ago.
Sending prayers and thoughts your way.
Please continue to tell the good stories and keep his spirit near you..

Having worked in Presidents Park for 22 years I saw how much effort was put into the grounds and gardens at The White House. I know it was quite a job done with the grounds crew under Mr. Williams direction. Thank you Mr. Williams.

Many wonderful memories flood my mind as I think of Irvin: always outside, always planting, tending his garden, and so willing to answer questions from the children in the family gatherings. He would answer any and all questions about plants. He has been described as unflappable. And he certainly was the most calm person that I've ever known. He will be sorely missed by his family and by so many that knew him. My thoughts and prayers for Dorothy and the entire family. We'll be planting acorns and daffodils and think of him. God's garden has just gotten the very best Groundskeeper.

There could not have been a horticulturalist better suited to supervising the grounds of the White House than Irv Williams. Irv epitomized the best qualities that his job at the White House required. Grace, dignity, and humility characterized my friend Irv. The White House lost that touch of class, that Irv embodied, when he retired from government service. Irv set the bar high for others to follow. He will be missed by all who knew him. Such a consistent gentleman, with a kind and generous persona. RIP, my friend.
