It's a sad day for the Williams family. Wendy Williams' father Thomas Williams has passed away at age 94. Wendy's niece, Alex Finnie, shared the news via Instagram on Sunday, writing: "It is with an extremely heavy heart that I share - after 94 years of extraordinary love, strength, brilliance, and wisdom, my grandfather Thomas D. Williams has passed. I know he is in heaven with Nana, watching over our family and continuing to guide us as he always has. My grandfather was truly a man of great intellect - an author, educator and keeper of historical facts. Papa poured into both family and community. I miss him tremendously. I'm a little lost for words right now, but I love you endlessly Papa. Give Nana a kiss for me " No cause of death was revealed.
