Matthew Williams surprised everyone when he arrived in this world, and did so, again, when he departed. He made his debut on September 19, 1980, a matter of minutes after his twin brother Benjamin, nearly two months preterm, and tipping the scales at just less than four pounds. A much welcomed, if unexpected, addition to the Al and Jane Williams family, Matt’s appearance left the attending physician apologizing to the OB nurse, who had insisted throughout labor she was hearing two heartbeats. The tiny boys had shared not only their first room, but their blood supply’so the initial hours of their lives saw a major transfusion effort to give each his own. They would remain blood brothers and best friends for 37 years. Mattâs early life was filled with the experiences shaping his life-long philosophy that family and tradition are treasures. His grandmother, Yolanda, a cellist with the Brico Symphony, gave him music lessons and shared her love of âThe Nutcracker,â which Matt continued to see nearly every year.
