Leander Williams, Jr. “Lil Buddy” was born to the late Leander Williams, Sr., and Lillian Johns Williams on February 22, 1948.  “Lil Buddy” was a product of Union Kempsville High School the Class of 1965.

He was a Dallas Cowboy fan only when they were winning.  On Sunday mornings, he would listen to his favorite gospel group, “The Gospel Keynotes”, “Jesus You’ve Been Good to Me” being his favorite song.
