Today, we celebrate the retirement of someone who has dedicated not just his career, but his heart and soul to education—my father-in-law, Rickey Williams, a beloved professor of criminal justice at Danville Area Community College.
For years, Rickey has poured his knowledge, his passion for justice, and his deep sense of integrity into every lecture, every student, and every moment in the classroom. He didn’t just teach criminal justice—he inspired confidence, encouraged curiosity, and helped countless students find their purpose and path.
Beyond the classroom, he’s been a steady role model—someone who leads with quiet strength, humility, and a genuine care for others.
Rickey, you’ve earned this moment. You’ve shaped lives, built a legacy, and now it’s time to enjoy the next chapter—one filled with family (watching your three grandsons), relaxation, and whatever adventures you choose.
We’re proud of you. We’re grateful for you. And we can’t wait to see what’s next.
Congratulations on your retirement!
