Q was someone you wanted to be around, always exuding positivity and happiness. His dazzling smile would light up a room, and his optimism was infectious. He will be missed not only by the people of Middletown, but by leaders beyond our borders and all of his colleagues in CT ❤️

We are deeply saddened by the tragic death of Rep. Williams earlier this morning. Just last night, we talked with Q at the inaugural ball and he was true to form – brimming with positive energy and a big smile that lit up the room. ctaflcio.org/press-room/ct-…

Q will be missed by everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. 🙏
