MOBILE, Ala. | Long time South Alabama athletic administrator Hal Williams passed away at a New Orleans hospital on Tuesday night with his family by his side.
"Words cannot express what Hal meant to the university and his colleagues," South Alabama athletic director Joel Erdmann, Ph.D. said. "His loyal service was complimented by his sincere concern for others. He touched the lives of thousands of people whether it was student-athletes, staff, or fans. He will be remembered forever not only for what he did but for who he was."
Always fun-loving and passionate about the Jags, Williams served in a variety of roles at South Alabama, working 30-plus years and finishing his career as the Associate Athletic Director.
