Road Dedication Ceremony for Spc. Clarence Williams, III

The Board of County Commissioners will hold a special ceremony on Monday, October 29, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. dedicating Yontz Road, from Howell Avenue to U.S. 98, to Army Specialist Clarence Williams, III.

Spc. Clarence Williams, III, lost his life on Sunday, July 8, 2012, in the service of his country along with five of his comrades when the armored vehicle in which they were riding hit a roadside bomb in Wardak Province just south of Kabul, Afghanistan.

In August, the Board of County Commissioners presented the Williams family with a proclamation recognizing Spc. Williams for his service to his country. Earlier this month, the Board authorized the dedication of a portion of Yontz Road to his memory.

The Board invites the public to join them and the Williams’ family and friends at the dedication and sign unveiling on October 29th. The ceremony will take place at the intersection of Yontz Road and Howell Avenue in Brooksville.

For more information, please contact the Community Relations Office at (352) 540-6780.
