Scott Joseph Williams 1967 – 2021 Scott Joseph Williams, 54, passed away suddenly at his home in Aurora, IL on August 13, 2021. He was born in Rockford, IL on July 13, 1967, the son of Don and Dee (Ryan) Williams. He graduated from Boylan Catholic High School, Rockford, in 1985, then attended Illinois State University where he earned his bachelors degree in finance in 1989 then proceeded to achieve his MBA in 1990 and was elected as Student Regent on the ISU Board of Regents in his last year. Scott was a member of the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity and was selected national Man of the Year in 1989. Scott loved sports, whether participating, watching in person or on TV. He was a standout goalie in the Rockford Roadrunners hockey club for many years and was on the 1977-78 A-Squirts team that finished runner-up in the State tournament. At Boylan, he discovered his love for golf, and, in his senior year, he represented Boylan in the state tournament. Golf was a lifelong avocation for Scott, and he achieved three hole-in-ones! Insurance was his career focus that began in a branch office of MetLife Insurance Company. This led to an executive position at John Hancock Insurance Company where he became Vice President of Sales for Long Term Care (LTC) insurance. He became a self-informed expert on Long Term Care insurance being invited to conduct seminars and provide presentations worldwide. After a distinguished career at John Hancock, he continued to provide LTC consulting services to other companies and was currently associated with a venture capital company, Reframe, developing a new insurance product. Scott and Tammy were able to travel to many wonderful places both through his company and on their own. They enjoyed seeing the Blackhawks and Bears games in Europe along with the Octoberfest in Germany. They attended the summer Olympics in Atlanta GA and winter Olympics in Torino, Italy.
