K & A Machine & Tool, Inc

It's with much sadness that the K & A family shares the passing of Merritt Williamson. Merritt has been with us for 24 years and was exceptional at his craft, as a Production Supervisor. His work ethic and talent for CNC precision machining was second to none and will never be forgotten. Please keep the Williamson family and everyone who knew and cared for him, close in your thoughts and prayers. We were truly fortunate to know you, Merritt. You will be missed and we give you our utmost gratitude for all of your dedicated years of service. We wish you, eternal peace.
